the llama costume contest has begun (mute this thread if you’re here for immigration - I’ll return to that tomorrow)

This llama has been in the contest for 6 years AND IT SHOWS.

The llama costume contest is bringing down the cellular network.

It says “wheel of fun” on the other side.

tale as old as time

Correction: Wheel of 4-H Fun.

Honestly, I mean, give her a gold medal.

DRAMA! Did Addy scratch from the contest? Where is the llama? Will she get to compete???

Addy got to compete in this amazing Rapunzel costume and her story was this journey of learning self confidence and I got a little teary. If Addy doesn’t win, we riot.

Judging has begun - looking for full coverage, wearability....and I look for cuteness. Scuba llama has flipper socks on and that is VERY IMPRESSIVE.

Okay butterfly llama, firefighter llama, humpty dumpty llama, and scuba llama are moving on for ribbons. We will wait for the second group to see who wins. THE TENSION.

Beauty and the beast llama moved on too. I’m too excited to tweet.

This is Spanky - he’s a derby car and I’m not sure this will play well with the Twin Cities crowd.

It’s Yogi Bear and a picnic!!! That hat!

This alpaca is named Pikachu - BOW DOWN TO YOUR KING.

Pebbles is wearing bell bottoms and a wig.

WONDER. WOMAN. LLAMA.

Her name is Starfighter and this is her third year in costume.

Lego My Eggo llama should be sponsored.

Wonder Woman llama just told the judge she made that costume in 2 weeks and I never accomplish anything in 2 weeks.

Derby llama, our new king, zebra llama move on and I am DEVASTATED that Wonder Woman llama and the Eggo llama didn’t move on. DEVASTATED.

Who is going to get the blue ribbon???

It has to be scuba llama. It has to be. THE FLIPPERS.

scuba llama won and the derby came in second.

We moved down and have better seats. This llama was in the “llama bowl” and I’m like whaaaaaaaaat.

The lobster llama didn’t want to walk and honestly, I feel that.

Katie broke her sewing machine multiple times sewing this llama costume that comes complete with ZIPPERS. I predict cotton candy llama will win.

This llama is the sun and we all revolve around it.

Prim is dressed as Charlotte and she works on their costume early to find the accessory items on clearance and I love that.

Who is going to win????? I think it has to be cotton candy llama but Charlotte is also fully covered.

CHARLOTTE WON. In a real twist, the reserve champion was solar system llama.

Coconut bra llama isn’t gonna let this loss keep him down.

Woooooooaaaahhhh there is a 4-H tv station here?? Charlotte llama handler is talking about handling llamas has helped her come out of her shell. I love this supportive llama community!

Chenelle is back! She was Finding Nemo last year and repurposed a pool noodle for her French Poodle costume. Chenelle overcame having worms last year and I love her.

Wow a celebrity has been right behind me this entire class.

Zoey is a tiger who needs to be tamed!

Dragon llama’s dragon head fell off. STILL VERY IMPRESSIVE.

Up llama has to win. This is her last year and the handler made this costume with her grandmother.

They’re being asked to describe their llamas in one word and the handler described Chenelle as dramatic.

Who is going to win???? I feel like it has to be the Up llama and I’m obviously pulling for Chenelle the Poodle.

CHENELLE WON! CHENELLE WON!!!!!!!

The dragon llama got second and she is happy crying and this is SO NICE.

Robbed tbh

And we are done! Thanks everybody! Give your favorite llama/alpaca a hug tonight!
