Alpacas in the spotlight in Springfield

Breeders from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin packed Springfield Oaks County Park May 5-6 for the Michigan Alpaca Breeders Show and Fiber Fair. About 200 of the furry creatures were on display for visitors and many of the animals competed in the alpaca judging.
Demonstrators showed their guests the fine art of shearing, spinning, weaving, felting and alpaca sock making.
