We still have a lot of volunteer spots to fill for the 2026 A-OK Shows, and the shows are getting close!

A special thank you to everyone who has already signed up. We truly appreciate your willingness to help make this year’s shows a success.

Whether you can help for a short time or take on more than one assignment, every volunteer helps make the show run more smoothly for our exhibitors, youth, guests, and judges.

This is so heartbreaking. Graysun was so looking forward to participating in our 2026 A-OK Blast-off Alpaca Show in a few weeks. In Graysun’s honor, we have renamed our A-OK Youth Scholarship to the Graysun Freeman Memorial Youth Scholarship. If you feel so inclined, you can use the GoFundMe link in this post to help the family out. RIP Graysun! 🙏

It is with a heavy heart that I share this tragic news of the loss of one of our kids in our Alpacas of Oklahoma youth program. Graysun was a great kid with a lot of enthusiasm working with alpacas. He trained here at our ranch many times and quickly made friends with the other kids. If you would like to assist his family with medical and funeral expenses, you can use this GoFundMe link. My heart goes out to his host of family and friends during this heartbreaking time. RIP Graysun!💔🙏❤️

📣 A-OK Youth Events Schedule Update/Register SOON!

The A-OK Show Committee has reviewed and confirmed the revised schedule, which now spans Friday evening through Sunday. Changes were made with input from the Youth Events Judge to allow enough time for increased participation. We regret that the changes cannot fit everyone’s schedule.

✅ Please finalize Youth registrations soon! Registration closes October 26, 2026, but registering earlier helps us prepare T-shirt orders and other show details.

📚 Between events, bring homework, rest, or explore Show volunteer opportunities for older youth.

Thank you to our sponsors for helping keep Youth Performance registration affordable—and to our families for your understanding and support!
