White Violet Center to host Alpaca open house
Learn more about alpacas during the National Alpaca Farm Days Open House at White Violet Center (WVC) for Eco-Justice, a ministry of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, from 1 to 4 p.m., on Sunday, Sept. 24.
WVC will join other alpaca breeders in the United States and Canada during that day to observe National Alpaca Farm Days.
Those interested in coming to the open house will be able to see the alpacas the Sisters of Providence own, while also talking to the staff members who care for them.
There will be opportunities to shop for alpaca items, such as ornaments, scarves, hats and socks, while also seeing several different alpaca fiber demonstrations.
Bring your camera or smart phone and enjoy plenty of photo opportunities for the family.
