SUMMARY:Alpaca Beach Party - 2024 Season Grand Opening
DESCRIPTION:Come out to Little Creek Alpacas Sunday\, May 26th from 1pm-5pm for our 2024 Alpaca Beach Party Season Grand Opening!\n30+ alpacas roaming in a free range setting with a 2 acre pond and small white sand beach. Phoenix Food Shack will be here with all their tasty menu items\, including vegetarian\, vegan\, and gluten free options\, so come hungry! Lake Hill Winery will be joining us with all your favorite local wines to taste\, sip\, and enjoy. 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! Quesal Puppet Troupe will be performing a special puppet show around 1:30pm. Carol Jean & Jera will be playing live music from 2:30pm-5pm. Regal Face Painting will be joining us with her artistic skills (please note\, face painting is cash only). Stay tuned for the full vendor list and other activities!\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.\nNo pets\, no smoking\, and no chasing the alpacas. Please be kind and respectful to others. Two handicap accessible port-a-potties will be available. 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.\n“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.”\n– Forrest Carter from the Education of Little Tree\nSunny 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.\nNot 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).

SUMMARY:WestFest 2024
DESCRIPTION:The University Union Board and the Bureau of Cultural Affairs at Western Illinois University will host WestFest 2024 Wednesday\, May 1 in the University Union Grand Ballroom. Doors open at 6 p.m. and entertainment will begin at 7 p.m. This year’s entertainment will include headliner Corey Kent and special guest Alana Springsteen. Kent started his music career early\, taking the stage at age 11 as the lead singer for a touring Western Swing band. Kent hit early milestones opening for Roy Clark and The Oak Ridge Boys. In 2020\, Kent released his “From the West” LP\, which garnered 3.5+ million aggregate streams and set the stage for his next chapter. His song “Gold” and fan favorite “Ain’t My Day has nearly 15 million streams combined. In December of 2021\, Corey released his sophomore album\, ’21\, to an overwhelmingly positive reception and landed on multiple playlists across streaming platforms with his single “There’s Always Next Year.” Both were released via Combustion Music. On March 4\, 2022\, Corey released his smash hit single “Wild As Her” and signed his deal with Sony Music Nashville and their RCA Nashville Imprint. Now\, touring on the road with over 100 shows a year\, he has made his way into the country music scene. Springsteen is a 21-year-old emerging artist focused on storytelling. After learning to play guitar at seven\, the Virginia Beach native began penning her songs at nine and soon started trekking to Nashville to co-write with industry heavyweights. In the tradition of powerhouse female Country stars\, she grew up\, she wrote the EP History of Breaking Up (part one) and now part two dropping soon. The song has surpassed 51 million streams and more than 5\,000 playlists. She is touring heavily with performances at Faster Horses\, TidalWave\, CMA Fest and many more. The cost for attendance\, a student is $10 and general admission is $20. Concert sponsors include the University Union Board and the Bureau of Cultural Affairs.
