Welcome to the club! 🦙

Hey there! 👋🏼 In 2009 I was given all the past photo posters from the 4H llama club In Kosciusko county Indiana, known as the Hoosier Llama Lovers club. I was also given some envelopes of miscellaneous photos from various club events and outings. 

The idea was, I believe, so I could scrapbook these photos from all the previous years… and yes, it took me a while, but we recently were trying to find ages on a few llamas that are still being used for the club, and I found this photo stash!

I don’t want to be the only one enjoying these treasures, so I decided a blog made the most sense- I can share photos, and hopefully others can help fill in gaps, as I don’t always have names of 4Hers or llamas attached to photos. Dates are missing for a lot of them too. 

So I’d love to hear from you if you were a club member or volunteer! Which llamas do you remember? Favorite show or club moments? Did you have a favorite llama? Who remembers Midge, the Williamson’s Jack Russell? 

I’d also love any photos from after 2009, if you have any, so we can include the decade plus of kids I’m missing! I’d love to share costume photos as well, if you have any.  Hopefully I can include the new years as they arrive, since my kids are now old enough to be in llama club! 

I’m currently scanning photos by year of poster so I can post them together…. 

But for fun, here are some “blast from the past” photos to get started! ~Naomi (Cole) Karth
