MAYOR TAKEN FOR  A RIDE

Mayor Kurt Alberts of Langley Township went for the ride of his life earlier this week at Murray Creek Ranch.

A team of matched llamas gave Mayor Alberts a preview of the upcoming WEST COAST LAMA BREEDERS SWEEPSTAKES show.   The mayor rode in a cart pulled by this llama team as a variety of other alpacas and llamas watched from the sidelines. 

Both the mayor of Langley Township, Kurt Alberts,  and Langley City, Marlene Grinnell, will be in attendance at the show opening. 

The WEST COAST LAMA BREEDERS SWEEPSTAKES will be taking place August 12 & 13th at Murray Creek Ranch,  3652 216th Street, Langley, B.C., from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m

Animals entered in this event, which is the largest of its kind in British Columbia, are the top products of llama and alpaca farms from across Canada.  A new feature of this year’s event will be an international llama and alpaca fleece show, and a handspinner’s choice, where a sample of the animal’s fibre is spun into yarn.    A marketplace will also be part of the event, with outstanding examples of hand made clothing and art for sale to the public.  Last year the top female llama took home prize money in excess of $2,300.  Admission is free to the public.

Welcome to the West Coast Lama Breeders Sweepstakes Home Page. 

1998 was the inaugural year of the Sweepstakes! Your show committee was overwhelmed by the initial response to this initiative - it’s obvious that this is an event long overdue here on the West Coast!  In 1999 the show reached new heights as we filled Tradex in Abbotsford for a full schedule of events.  The herdsire parades, fashion show, marketplace, and dinner were highlights of the two day event.  Now in the year 2000, our event will be held at the Murray Creek Ranch in Langley, B.C., one of the best equestrian facilities in Canada.

This is a unique opportunity open to llama and alpaca breeders to showcase their top young show stock, and in doing so, establish the prepotence of their breeding sires and dams. Here is your chance to show what your farm’s breeding program has produced!  All entry fees are returned to the nominees in the form of prize money.   The Sweepstakes committee are all volunteers, and the  show itself is paid for entirely by sponsorship by breeders, companies and other individuals.

Thanks to all those who have taken that "leap of faith" and supported us so wholeheartedly in order to get the Sweepstakes underway. Thanks also to our  Sponsors. We welcome your support, and invite all other individuals interested in sponsorship to contact us.

If you are new to the Sweepstakes and would like more information about how to get involved, please contact any member of the Committee, whose web pages are listed at the bottom of this page.

Have a look around, check out our photo album.  See you at the Sweepstakes!
