2005 Grand National Entries
      
RESULTS:     The 2005 Grand Nationals was a successful weekend for us and 6 out of the 7 entries we took went Top Ten in their classes.  It was great to see all of our friends and to make new friends along the way.  I have to say that our barn isle was a blast and our neighboring fellow llama lovers were a treat.   The dance and dinner on Saturday night was a blast and we got it all on tape - two hours of fun.      We would like to express a great big thank you to ALSA for putting on such a great National event and to all of those people who participated to make it better each year.  See you in 2006!  
We would also like to send a great big congratulations to WINS Hot Notes owned by Don & Margaret Ricci (Top Ten 9th place yearling heavy wool male); and WINS Auraflame owned by Rick & Mary Adams (Top Ten 9th place heavy wool juvenile female).   Good job!
