JUDGES FOR 2026
We are excited to have AOA Certified Judges Wade Gease judging males and Diana Timmerman judging females for the Regular Fleece Show. Neither of these judges need introduction, for they have been part of judging Suri alpacas for many years.  Our Spin-Off, Fiber Arts, and Skeins Judge is Andrea Candlish-Nissen.
