How to register for CABA Classic and AWE Shows

It is a little bit of a different procedure to register for a double show format. You do need to register twice to make sure you register for both shows. Please follow the procedures below to make sure you are registered for both shows if that is your intent.

Key Registration Considerations

Before beginning Registration, you will want to be well versed with the 2024 Show System Handbook which can be read online in PDF format at this link. It is especially important to read this information so that you will conform to all AOA Show requirements.

Next, be sure to have your original Registry Certificates for each Alpaca; the holographic seal on the form must be from the original. These Certificates must be scanned (or an image otherwise captured) and electronically uploaded in the Registration for each Alpaca or Fleece. Our Show Superintendents, Steve Johnson and Brian Barfield are available for help at: Show.Super.Steve@gmail.com or Show.Super.Brian@gmail.com, if needed.

All exhibitors are required for presenting a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection [CVI] (commonly called a Health Certificate) for every alpaca entering the venue is required. You MUST obtain this CVI from your Veterinarian no earlier than 30 days before the show ending date and/ or your compete travel period. You will keep the original copy when you arrive at the show, and you must provide a photocopy to give to  CABA Classic check-in coordinator at check-in. You will not be granted entrance into the show without this form when you arrive!

Your CVI should contain:

• Your Name and Address as the originator/consignor

• The destination: Yamhill County Fairgrounds, 2070 NE Lafayette Ave, McMinnville, OR 97128

• The date that the CVI was issued—no earlier than 30 days before the show date

• Each Alpaca’s Microchip ID#, Registration #, Name, Age, Sex, Breed, BVDV Test Type & Result, BVDV Test Date, and BVDV
  
  Test Barcode/Accession Number

If you are transporting Alpacas across state lines to come to the CABA Shows, be sure to be fully informed about interstate transport laws that apply to your travel.

Small Breeder classes are integrated with the Alpaca Western Extravaganza "A.W.E" halter show. A farm qualifies as a Small Breeder if it has no more than 20 AOA registered females at the time of registration for that show.

You cannot successfully register for both shows in two different browser windows/tabs at the same time. Choose one show to begin your registration, close the window to the first show, then open a new window/tab to the other show after you are finished. You can always return to either show to add/change/delete items, but ALWAYS do so without having both shows open on your desktop at the same time.
