2012 MAPACA Jubilee.
The Association was celebrating its Sixteenth Year! I had been invited to participate and was involved with demonstrations and mini classes on Great Wheel Spinning, Treadle Wheel Spinning, Spindle Spinning, as well as some hints on preparing Alpaca fiber for handspinning. There was a good turn out and I really enjoyed meeting and teaching all the people who attended my classes.
The Mid-Atlantic Alpaca Association (MAPACA) is a cooperative group of alpaca owners and breeders in the Mid-Atlantic states of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. This was my second year participating in the Jubilee Show, and I was very happy to attend. Many thanks to all of the people involved in producing a show of this magnitude!
Due to some issues with a memory stick on my hard drive, I am having some trouble with my usual photo editor, and so at this time, I don't have any photographs to share from the event....however, here is a video of last years Jubilee Show..and you may recognize me at the Great Wheel.. about two and a half minutes into the film.
