2026 SURI NETWORK FLEECE SHOW

We anticipate that the 2026 Suri Network Fleece Show will be another tremendous show. We are excited to have AOA judges Diana Timmerman judging males and Wade Gease judging females this year!  We are waiting for a confirmation for the judge for Fiber Arts, Skeins, and Spin-Off competitions.

Once again the show will be held in northern Kentucky immediately after the AOA National Fleece Show which will allow seamless and free fleece forwarding from AOA to the Suri Network show. After the Suri Network Show, your fleeces can also be forwarded for free to the Pennsylvania Fleece show.

THE TRIPLE CROWN - 2026!
THIS SPECIAL AWARD HAS BEEN EXTREMELY POPULAR AND WE ARE OFFERING IT AGAIN THIS YEAR! GET 3 DIFFERENT SETS OF INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ALPACA'S 2026 FLEECE BY ENTERING IT IN THESE 3 COMPETITIONS!

  • Enter the AOA National IFA competition occurring immediately prior to the Suri Network Fleece Show
  • Enter the same fleece in the Regular Suri Network Fleece Show
  • Enter the Suri Network Spin-Off- we will pull the sample for the Spin Off competition after it has been judged in the Regular Fleece Show.

    To save exhibitors shipping expenses and to provide an opportunity for them to compete in 3 different events with a single fleece, we are offering to take the Spin-Off sample from the fleece entered in the Regular Fleece Show and ship it to Wini Labrecque for competition in the Spin-Off.

OPEN TO SURI OWNERS WORLDWIDE!
The All Suri Fleece Show is open to any Suri owner, including competitors outside the U.S.A. You do not need to be a Suri Network member!
 
Of course, we hope you will consider joining the Suri Network to enjoy the many benefits we offer including discounted entry fees!
  International entrants should use the online registration to register their fleeces.  The AOA Show membership fee is waived for International Entrants. Our Show Superintendent will contact International Entrants to review their entry and provide instruction on sending in their registration data from your home country.

FREE PHOTOS of Champion and Special Award winning fleeces will be provided to entrants!  
Photos will be suitable for use in advertising their alpacas and farms.
