Bangor Folk Festival

We had a wonderful time at the Bangor Folk Festival.  Despite the three day event being shortened into a two day event due to hurricane Irene, we saw a tremendous turnout!  It was great to see lots of familiar faces and meet many new wonderful alpaca admirers!

One of the few moments Robin & her spinning wheel weren't surrounded by a crowd of people interested in alpacas & their beautiful fiber.



Your job isn't looking very secure Pam.  This little guy is learning the in's and out's of picking and carding.


People loved watching our slideshow, featuring pictures and videos of our alpacas

Take this job and love it!

We all get bored with our jobs from time to time. Many of us get the urge to switch careers...even if only for a day. WABI's Amy Erickson has been trying her hand at different professions.

She's gutted deer in the woods with game wardens...even played barber with a straight razor.

On September 14ths "Take This Job and Love It" report, she tries her hand at being an alpaca farmer at Northern Solstice Alpaca Farm.

Viewers will get a behind the scenes look at alpaca husbandry, daily farm chores and much more.

Watch "Take This Job and Love It" on September 14th to catch a glimpse of you favorite alpaca at Northern Solstice Alpaca Farm!

If you're not in the local viewing area or you miss the airing, we will post the story and clip for you to watch.
