Hayden, Idaho is a pretty little town just outside of Coeur d'Alene. And today was the Hayden Days Parade. It was also Alpaca Direct's "Christmas in July" sale, with HUGE discounts on yarn and accessories, yummy food, adorable alpacas and lots and LOTS of laughter.We worked fast and furious all day yesterday preparing the float for today. What on earth were we thinking? (just kidding!)Today the Tuesday Night Knitters brought their kids/grandkids as did ADers and we all piled onto the float. After delivering our best queen-like waves to the citizens, we returned to the store to eat & shop.It was a SUPER GREAT DAY! And just to top it all off, we had 10 awesome giveaway prizes from some extremely generous suppliers! Right before we closed up at 3p.m. Kelley drew out the names of our lucky winners. So. Much. Fun!A quick shout-out to our kind and generous vendors who supplied products for the prizes:Cascade YarnsHiya HiyaMalabrigo YarnMisti AlpacaPlymouth Yarn CompanyThank you for your donations!
