David Letterman Has Spoken - #1 America Loves Dancing Alpacas!!

After the girl scouts from the Lehigh Valley, PA danced with their Alpacas on Letterman on 9/23/10 - this top 10 aired, "Top Ten Secrets Revealed In The New Bob Woodward Book".   The number 1 is around minute 1:29.    I know you are wondering why I am posting this on an alpaca blog - but wait for #1 !!!  David Letterman has spoken !!! 

The girls and their alpaca companions did great - but I wish the segment was a bit longer!  

Once the Video of the dancing alpacas is ready - I will post that as well.

(Added 9/25) Well I couldn't find the Letterman Clip - but here are the girls dancing with their Alpacas at the 2010 MAPACA Jubilee in Harrisburg PA.

(Added 9/28) Full Letterman Clip from YouTube

Alpacas are mainstream and ALL over the place!!!

Alpacas were set to be  on the Martha Stewart Show (Sept 23) on the Hallmark Channel, so while we are waiting for that to debut, I thought you would enjoy watching some other places alpacas are today in the mainstream!!

Tractor Supply:  their in store magazine publication features Alpacas on the cover!!   Click here to read on line.  It takes the page a few minutes to load.  While thier average prices for animals are much higher than the market currently bears right now and the number of registered animals is greater than 120,000, the rest of the article is pretty good !!
