Mission Statement: Established in 1981, the Llama Association of North America (LANA), serves the camelid community by sponsoring medical research specific to llamas and alpacas; providing current and accurate information about camelid health and care; advocating for pro-camelid legislation and access to public lands; encouraging, educating and mentoring camelid enthusiasts of all ages in their interactions with camelids; supporting rescue for camelids in distress; and hosting a variety of activities including youth programs, hiking trips, shows, parades, fiber clinics, educational events and more. 3
The History of the HOBO CLASSIC In 2000, Dan and Marilyn Milton, Cris Jennings, Sherry Johnston, Greg and EstherSue Sykes, and Doug and Darlene Meyers purchased the Firecracker Sale and turned it into a non-profit organization to benefit the llama industry. The Miltons traveled to Estes Park Wool Market & Llama Show in Missouri, the Ag Show in California and OFFF in Oregon with extensive displays to promote all aspects of the llama industry. Dan and Marilyn gave seminars all over the country and hosted two major llama auctions combined with shows in Roseberg, Oregon. They turned all profits back into the industry by educating, sponsoring events, giving scholarships and even supporting organizations such as LANA with a $5,000 donation to sustain them. As sales on the west coast were declining, the group needed another way of making money. Because shows were still popular, they decided a new show was the way to go. All desirable dates for a show were already booked so the Miltons conceived the idea of a show that could be held in the winter time and the Hobo Classic was born. Grooming became “illegal” and to enforce that, there were Hobo cops and a jail. It grew from there to include an entire Hobo town complete with a junk yard, a soup kitchen, a dock, box car, outhouses (all decorated with authentic Hobo symbols) and a perpetual yard sale where those who didn’t have costumes could get themselves in the spirit of things. For the first several years, there were over 300 llamas in attendance at the shows. There were many special events for all levels of performance with awards and cash prizes. The group sponsored sportsmanship and service awards, as well. In 2008, the Miltons purchased the Celebrity Show and they passed the Hobo Classic to LANA. For many years, the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds was the home to Hobo. Chene and Andrea Mogler and their crew of lovely young Hobo children really brought the spirit of the show back to its true Hobo roots, arresting and jailing the “criminals” who were caught grooming at the show. After several years, Kathy Nichols took over as superintendent and continues to work to make Hobo a destination show on the West Coast. Next year, get your best tattered clothing on, load up your dirtiest llamas and join us as we bring Hobo back to its glory days.

SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE by Kathy Nichols
Exhibitors for coming to the show Sponsors for your generosity and support To those who donated to the silent and dessert auctions and the successful bidders To our friends who came to support LANA and the show Volunteers for helping with the show and weekend festivities Chene Mogler for making the beautiful annual awards Adryce Mathisen for being our judge LANA’s Hobo Classic Show moved to the Merced County Fairgrounds this year. This location was perfect for our needs. Features that pleased our exhibitors and show committee: barn and show ring near each other, well-maintained facility, parking on site, and cooperative management — just to name a few. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. While a little chilly in the early morning and late evening, the sun shined with barely a cloud in the sky. AND there was not even a breeze. (If any of you remember the last Hobo Classic with the horrendous wind that came out of no where on halter day). The Hobo Village was amazing! There was plenty of room for the silent auction a.k.a the “Yard Sale,” LANA’s annual membership meeting and dinner, hospitality a.k.a. the “Soup Kitchen,” vendor space, jail, and photo ops. Saturday evening festivities were fun starting with a delicious Mexican dinner, our annual meeting and awards presentation, and finishing with the dessert auction and a duet by Patti and Sue singing “Last Dance” by Donna Summer. It was the best Hobo evening I’ve experienced. A heart-felt thank you to the show committee: Joy Pedroni, Ron Pedroni, Stephanie Pedroni, and Sue Rich. You four went above and beyond the call of duty. While our attendance was small, we are optimistic for a better turn out next year. If you weren’t at 2022 Hobo, y’all missed out on a fun show.

Kayla Rogers
Nina Pedersen
The 2021 Adult Follow Me Award was awarded to Kayla for her commitment to the llama community. Owners and breeders are thankful for her diligence with pregnancy checks and embryo transfer. This endeavor has taken her to Oregon, Nevada and all over California. With dedicated care and attention, she has helped owners’ young cria recover from illness and injury. Kayla is always ready to lend a hand at shows as a handler, with youth judging, as a PR petter, or on the obstacles crew. Congratulations Kayla!
LANA has awarded Nina the 2021 Hummdinger Award for her dedication and continued support of the llama community. She is a longtime llama owner and breeder in Petaluma, California. Nina does not show any more, but stays active in the llama community mentoring and educating owners. She helps llamas in need of re-homing and rescuing. Congratulations Nina and thank you for your work with llamas and their owners.

3. SHELTER: Animals should have natural or man-made shelter that enables them to find relief from extreme weather conditions. The sheltered area must allow for the ability to stand, lie down, rest and reasonably move about. 4. MOBILITY: Animals should have a living area through which they can move freely and exercise independently 5. NEGLECT: Animals should have a physical appearance free from signs of serious neglect. Signs of serious neglect may include such things as crippled ambulation due to severely curled toenails, ingrown halters, or living conditions not meeting the minimums listed above. 6. SAFETY: Animals should be reasonably safeguarded from injury or death within their defined living environment and/or when traveling. 7. CRUELTY: Animals should be reasonably safeguarded from cruel treatment and actions that endanger life or health or cause avoidable suffering. 8.
