ILR Sanctioned Show
Northeast Tennessee Llama Show at White Pine
WSCC Expo Center, 1615 Pavilion Drive, White Pine, TN 37890
We would like to invite you to attend the “Tennessee Llama Show” in White Pine, Tennessee. The show is dual sanctioned (ILR-SD/ALSA). You may enter either or both. Last year, 90% of the exhibitors entered both. The facility at the WSCC Expo Center in White Pine, Tennessee is located next to Interstate 81 with easy access from several major interstates: I-81, I-26, I-40, and I-75. The location is centrally located between three major llama community regions: Southeastern Region, Eastern Region, & Buckeye Region, and not far from most parts of the Central Region & Great Lakes Region. It is a perfect setting for exhibitors from all areas in the Eastern part of the United States to converge and exhibit their llamas. The stalling areas are plentiful and within 100 feet walking distance. Add to that a dose of good fun, great people, usually good weather, and of course “southern hospitality”. Now how can you turn all this down on a three-day Memorial Day Weekend!! We look forward to seeing you. Give us a call at 423-257-2875 (home) or 423-823-2100 (Cell) if you have any questions.

This is a great opportunity to consign your female for the flat fee of just $250. There are no commission fees to sell your consignment!! You set your opening bid/reserve amount. That is great news for sellers!! The deadline is April 1, 2012 so don’t wait because at this rate we expect the consignment spaces to fill quickly. Early consigners will also be featured in the sale flyer and emails.
An added bonus… we have made consigning easy! The consignment agreement is available online. Just complete and return it with your ILR registration and a good quality picture to be placed in the flyer and online. You may also add a description if you wish!
