​We are participating in the following events - both on and off the farm. 

2022 Events

National Alpaca Farm Days

September 24 & 25, 2022
Join us here at Pronkin' Pastures as we celebrate National Alpaca Farm Days!  We invite you to stop by and learn all about alpacas and their wonderful fiber!  Meet the alpacas, feel the alpaca fiber, learn about raising alpacas, and shop for alpaca gifts!  ​Our farm and shop will be open from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday.  

7/2021:  With all of  our events in 2020 and early 2021 cancelled due to Covid, we have not had anything to put on our calendar.  As Covid restrictions are now beginning to be lifted, we'll get back to posting events on our calendar soon.  We are working on adding 'Free Farm Visit/Meet the Alpacas' weekends back into the schedule.  As soon as we are able to offer up-close alpaca visits, we'll post the dates in the schedule. 

2020 Events

We will be joining hundreds of other spinners for the 36th annual St. Distaff's Day Spin-In put on the Northwest Regional Spinners Association Area 2010. This is a fun opportunity to gather with spinning friends for an enjoyable and relaxing day.  Along with many other fiber related vendors, we will be selling our wares in the vendor area.  10:00 am - 4:00 pm at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA.  

Whidbey Island Spin-In

Join the fun at Oak Harbor High School!  The 49th Annual Spin In, put on by the Whidbey Weavers Guild, is an event you won't want to miss. This is another great opportunity to gather with spinning friends, learn from a well respected speaker, and shop the vendors!   The marketplace will be open to the general public from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on Saturday. We'll have a vendor table there and will have some exciting new yarns available. We look forward to seeing you there!

Store will be open additional days & hours!

Vashon Sheepdog Classic

June 11 - 14, 2020 - event cancelled
 A beautiful island, dogs and fiber - what a delightful combo!  

From the Vashon Sheepdog Classic event website....  'Join us as people from all over the world flock to Vashon to enjoy the fascinating world of the working sheepdog. The Vashon Sheepdog Classic is the most attended herding event on the West Coast and is held on the breathtaking rolling meadows of Misty Isle Farms. Come and enjoy local fare, fiber arts, and other artisan crafts while you experience this highly regarded national competition'. 

We are thrilled to be a part of this fun, family friendly event!  We will be in the company of several other fiber-related vendors as we sell our wares in the Fiber Arts Village at the Sheepdog Trails.  Hope to see you there!

Shearing Day at Pronkin' Pastures

June 2020 
As a fiber farmer, shearing day is one of the most anticipated days of the year!  It's so exciting to see the fiber our animals have produced, and the results of our breeding program as we shear young animals for the first time.  Shearing is a working weekend for us, so the farm is  closed on this weekend.  We do sometimes have need for a helping hand, though!  If you are interested in helping on shearing day, feel free to contact us. It's a great learning experience as well as an opportunity to see the animals up close, and view fleeces fresh off the animal.    As this is a working weekend, space is limited, give us a call or email us for details and/or to reserve a spot.

Black Sheep Gathering

 June 26 - 28, 2020 - event cancelled
NOT CONFIRMED!  We have submitted our application, and hope to be selected to vend at this fiber event! 
Black Sheep Gathering is a premier event showcasing fiber and fiber-related products - and celebrating it's 46th year!  Takes place at the Linn County Event Center in Albany, Oregon.

Cria season at Pronkin' Pastures!

We have several crias (alpaca babies) due this summer!  We expect the most of them to arrive in the month of August.  Plan to visit this summer and you may experience a very special 'cria encounter'!  

National Alpaca Farm Days

Sept 26 & 27, 2020 - event cancelled
Join us here at Pronkin' Pastures as we celebrate National Alpaca Farm Days!  Stop by to learn all about alpacas and their wonderful fiber!

Fiber Fusion Northwest

October 17 & 18, 2020 - event cancelled
Our shop and farm will be operating limited hours (by appointment only) this weekend as we head to the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA.  We will be one of 70+ vendors selling our fiber-related wares at Fiber Fusion Northwest.   It's a fun filled weekend for anyone interested in alpaca, wool, or any type of natural fibers!  In addition to lots of vendors, there will be a live fiber animal exhibit, free demonstrations, and a fleece show and sale and lots more!   
We hope you will visit us at our vendor booth. ​
