SUMMARY:Alpaca Beach Party
DESCRIPTION:Come out to Little Creek Alpacas Sunday\, Sept. 20th from 1pm-5pm for an Alpaca Beach Party!30 alpacas roaming in a free range setting with a 2 acre pond and small white sand beach. Phoenix Food Shack will be here with select menu items\, including vegan\, vegetarian\, and gluten free options. Lake Hill Winery will be joining us with all your favorite local wines to taste\, sip\, and enjoy. PoManTone will be playing live music during the entire event. Hickry Ridge Homestead and A Tangled Mess Angoras & Crafts will have their angora rabbits\, and will also be doing spinning demonstrations\, so you can see how our alpaca fiber is spun into yarn! Coolers are allowed this year if you’d like to pack some drinks & snacks. Stay tuned for the full list of vendors and food truck!\nCups of grain to hand feed the alpacas with will be available for $5/cup. We’ll also have tables set up with our alpaca products for sale. Fishing is allowed\, our pond is stocked with mostly bass\, but there are a few catfish in there somewhere. Bring your own fishing pole\, we don’t have any available. The beach has toys for kids to play with\, this is a family friendly environment. Due to last year’s drought\, there is NO SWIMMING IN THE POND until further notice\, but you can still get your feet wet and get water for your sand castles.No pets\, no smoking\, and no chasing the alpacas. Please be kind and respectful to others. Port-a-potties will be available (at least 1 will be handicap accessible). Hand wipes & disinfectant wipes are available\, there is no hand sink.\n**Please note\, this is not a petting zoo. Alpacas are similar to a timid cat\, they like to get to know you on their own terms. If you insist on trying to pet them before you’ve earned their trust\, they will walk or run away from you – the more you insist\, the more they will retreat. Be patient\, and let them come up to you on their own for the best experience. Hand feeding grain always helps with the introduction\, and will entice them to come up to you.\nFree admission for all of our 2024 Alpaca Beach Parties! Donations are always appreciated\, but never expected.“Granma said\, when you come on something good\, first thing to do is share it with whoever you can find; that way the good spreads out where no telling it will go. Which is right.”– Forrest Carter from the Education of Little TreeSunny Beach is dedicated to my best friend\, Sunny\, who spent her life celebrating kindness and advocating for children\, social justice\, and world peace. Her last letter to me arrived the day she passed away\, and inside it was the quote above from Forrest Carter. The Alpaca Beach Parties came about all because of my beautiful friend\, it’s my way of honoring her and my attempt to bring as much joy to the world as she did.\nLittle Creek Alpacas is within 20-35 minutes of 3 different campgrounds! A great way to take an affordable mini vacation that the kids will love! Spring Lake in Macomb\, IL also has cabins for rent if you’re not a tent camper and don’t have an RV. Spring Lake is approx. 35 minutes from our farm. Argyle Lake State Park is approx. 20-30 minutes from our farm. Weinberg-King State Fish and Wildlife Area is approx. 20 minutes from our farm.Not a camper? No problem\, Plymouth Rock Roost Bed & Breakfast is just 5 minutes from our farm\, or you can find a few different hotels in Macomb\, IL (just 30 minutes from our farm).
