MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — A local alpaca farm held a holiday open house this weekend.
The Arcona Alpaca Farm invited the community to meet and learn about alpacas and shop local vendors at their farm in Cumberland County.
The store was selling warm winter alpaca apparel like scarves, gloves, and socks.
“It’s one of the warmest fibers that is used for clothing,” Carol Weezorak, of Arcona Alpacas, said. “Wool is also very insulating. Some people are allergic to wool and people tend not to be allergic to alpaca fiber, so it’s a great fiber, It’s a very soft fiber, a very fine fiber, so it’s great for weaving, knitting.”
A donation was made to the Wounded Warriors charity from the bake sale at the event.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — Fire officials have revealed the causes of two fires in Harrisburg that happened in the uptown area overnight Saturday and again Saturday afternoon.
Just before 2:15 a.m., Harrisburg Bureau of Fire responded to Radnor Street for a reported fire that began in the walls.
Harrisburg Fire Chief Brian Enterline says the cause was due to an electrical malfunction.
No injuries were reported, and it is unclear if there are any displacements.
Video shows where that first fire took place overnight Saturday, then just after 4 p.m. that afternoon, crews were dispatched to another fire on Lexington and Radnor streets, just a walk away.
Enterline says this fire started in the third-floor bedroom and was also caused by an electrical malfunction.
He says no injuries were reported.

Ardmore kicked off its first-ever holiday market Saturday, hosting more than 20 vendors.
Despite the winter chill, holiday shoppers wandered through Schauffele Plaza, perusing everything from candles and pottery to clothing and glassware.
“As an artist, if we didn’t have markets, we wouldn’t be able to actually sell our work,” said Marcia Reiver, a Bryan Mawr-based ceramicist who was selling her pottery, jewelry and other wares at the market Saturday.
“When you buy something from an artist, you’re actually making a big deal,” she said.
In addition to showcasing local artists, the market is designed to boost foot traffic to local businesses, said Alec Hersh, executive director of Ardmore Initiative, the town’s business improvement district.
“There are holiday events elsewhere in the Main Line,” Hersh said. “I wanted to make something happen here in downtown Ardmore that would make it really serve as … that magnetic force for people all across, from West Philly all the way up to Malvern, to come here.”
Grace O’Shea was carrying her toddler while browsing the different stalls. She said she and her family were able to walk just blocks from their home to check out the event.
“It’s great to have proximity to a market like this,” she said. “We are always looking for fun things to do on the weekend, right? And this is something super easy for us.”
Visitors can pick up a passport for the month of December at the market, said Rebecca D’Ostilio, marketing and events manager for Ardmore Initiative.
Once someone gets three stickers from participating businesses with any purchase, they can enter a giveaway for three $100 gift cards.
“That brings the community together, too,” she said. “You feel like you’re participating in shopping small. Which is the point of this, even with the vendors, right, you’re supporting a small business, and I think that’s super important.”
