Echo Valley Fruit & Fiber Re-opens
Diamond Triple C Ranch at Grand Lake, Afton, Oklahoma
We were able to reopen our farm store, Echo Valley Fruit & Fiber, in connection with National Alpaca Farm Day, and our first guests started arriving just before 9 a.m. With more than 200 visitors, we were busy nearly every minute! It was wonderful to get acquainted with not only the out-of-towners who saw our advertising, but to visit with the local people, as well. We had a coloring station for kids, informational handouts, refreshments, and tours of the ranch.
Bucky Sherman, our new Ranch Manager in Oklahoma, who will also be profiled in our next issue of The Diamond Digest, did an excellent job showing people the alpacas and letting them visit with our herdsire extraordinaire, Enchantment's Monjeau, who LOVES visitors. Other alpacas were very curious and came in the barn to check out the visitors. At one time we had more than 22 cars in our parking lot. It was such a successful day, and we have had a lot of follow up interest from that event. |
