***** Educational Program: Janice Robinson ******
Wow! This presentation was great! Janice owns an alpaca farm just out of Oklahoma City. She showed us pictures of all of her alpacas and talked to us about the shearing process, how it goes to the mill, and comes back. She also showed us some things that were made with yarn made from alpacas.
