Holiday open house held at local alpaca farm
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.
