REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS:

.Go to the TXOLAN Alpaca Association website and click on the link for registering for the show.

When registering, there are three (3) important items needed:

· ARI certificate for each fleece entered.

· Exhibitor Disclosure Form. This is now online (see instructions on 2024 How to Register tab). If your alpaca is co-owned and you would like both owners listed in the final results, be sure to get the co-owner to log into the registration system for the TXOLAN show and sign the disclosure. They do not have to enter the actual show to do this. Please read the disclosure carefully and check the appropriate boxes.

· Owner of Record Form. If the certificate is still in another farm's name, you will need an Owner of Record (OOR) form signed by the previous owner giving you permission to show. It must be filled out, signed, with dates. Scan and upload. Scan separately from certificate. There is a specific spot on the registration site to upload OOR.

· When scanning, set scanner to 300 dpi and the resulting PDF image should load to the registration site. The official registration image from AOA (with holographic seal) should be of proper size to load.

After registering your selected alpacas, print off a copy of each fleece tag and place them with your fleece in a clear plastic bag of 1 mil thickness or less, approximately 30 gallons.

UPS, FedEx and USPS are all acceptable shipping carriers. Unless you have a prepaid label from UPS or FedEx, all fleeces will be mailed back using USPS. Choose “Fleece Mail Back” on the registration site if you would like pay up-front to have your fleeces mailed back to you after the show for $15.00 per fleece, $7 per additional fleece.

Mailing

To obtain a prepaid label when you ship your fleeces, take your fleece to UPS or FedEx with the box UNSEALED so that you can slip your label into the box before shipping.

Create an account at Fed Ex or UPS
Print out a shipping label with your address on it
After the show I will put this label on your box along with any ribbons or special awards and ship it back to you. When it gets scanned, your account/credit card will be charged.
DO NOT send a prepaid Priority Mail label from the USPS. It will not include the extra weight added by the ribbons and therefore will not have enough postage.
DO NOT send stamps.
