You’re invited to spend some time with Liam and Jack while doing some Christmas shopping. The annual Christmas With Alpacas festival at Estabrook’s Greenhouse is returning this Saturday and Sunday, December 6 & 7.
Christmas With Alpacas is a fun family event that gives folks the chance to see these critters up-close and personal. How close? So close that you can pet these gentle animals! Experience their cozy, soft fleece in an exciting way. As you get a good snuggle in, we’ll tell you all about how the fiber is grown, sheared, and sent to the mill to become yarn.
What do we do with that yarn? We create some of the warmest winter apparel you’ll find! Bonus: alpaca fibers are sleek, not scratchy, and they don’t have any of the lanolin found on sheep’s wool.
Where can you find a nice alpaca hat and scarf set, or some fingerless mittens or maybe a sweater? Come to Christmas With Alpacas at Estabrook’s Greenhouse in Yarmouth and shop a variety of apparel from local alpaca farms.
We’ll be joined by Longwoods Alpaca Farm, Misty Acres Alpaca Farm, and Tall Pine Alpacas. Find alpaca yarn, alpaca clothing, alpaca fiber art, and of course… the alpacas!
Every year children have a blast at our Kid’s Craft Table. Glitter, glue, color, or needle felt a holiday craft to take home as a fun souvenir. Make a Christmas card or an ornament. Just have fun creating together!
New vendors will be added to the event this year. Find artisan jewelry, all natural bath and body products, ceramic and glass art, and accessories for the home. Don’t forget to taste the Muthah Truckah and El Corazon food trucks. After a day of excitement, bring home a Christmas tree to decorate with the family and keep the holiday spirit bright all night.
If you missed last week’s Christmas With Alpacas, or you were there and had a great time, come join us this weekend in Yarmouth, Maine. We’ll be there at 10:00am until 4:00pm.
