This last weekend was the last time the Alpacas of the Anza Valley will hold Alpaca Ranch Days, an event held nationally each Sep-

tember. Over 200 people attended the open house each day over the two-day event. Many showed interest in owning and raising Alpacas as a business, others came to say goodbye to an annual tradition and some came to shop in the boutique.

Many came for the first time and were unhappy that it was the last time these beautiful, unique animals would be available for visits from the general public in an openhouse setting. Julie and Don Roy have success-

fully grown their Alpaca business over the last 12 years including over 100 alpaca baby or ceria births. Now wanting to move into new roles from covering all aspects

All eyes were on their chances to win the coveted silver buckle at the second to last Anza Lions Gymkhana in the Lions Equestrian Field Arena Saturday, Oct. 1. But most of the day’s event were just for the joy of riding and showing off their favorite horses for the more than 30 entrants. Leading the herd of top young riders that day was Sierra “Lightning” Schultz who won all three Gymkhana events over some tough competition in the Juniors events. With her favorite horse, Wintera, she made the fastest times in the Junior Gymkhana Keyhole, Pole Bending and Barrel Race winning blue ribbons and gaining important points in the Nov. 1 final Anza Gymkhana where the silver medals are handed out.

Hamilton’s Bobcat Varsity football team valiantly beats Nuview Bridge Knights 48-7 Coach Pat McGowan SPECIAL TO ANZA VALLEY OUTLOOK

The Hamilton Bobcats met with some big adversity Friday night. In the first quarter of their game against the Nuview Bridge Knights, the Bobcats struggled offensively and a botched punt led to a Knights touchdown. The second quarter didn’t look promising for the team when the Bobcats’ starting quarterback and defensive end, Carlos Graves (#21),

got seriously injured early on. But the Hamilton team, wasn’t beaten yet, rallying and fighting back with passion, the Bobcats completely dominated the rest of the game. Isaac Chacon (#42) took over the mantle as quarterback and led the Hamilton offense to six touchdowns. He alone rushed for 2 TDs and threw for two more. Both of Chacon’s passing touchdowns went to Bobcat’s star receiver Michael
