Darrington Fling 2022
Darrington Rodeo Grounds, Darrington Wa
Join us for a fun performance show weekend. There is inexpensive onsite camping with limited hookups available, river access to take the llamas swimming and a bluegrass festival next door to enjoy.

Come on Friday for the evening showmanship and non-breeder halter classes and take your llamas swimming or see some of the beautiful scenery of this area. We typically incorporate the river into the obstacle courses so be ready to try swimming (or wading in some cases) with your llama.

Saturday is show day with a trail pack course in the shaded woods during the heat of the afternoon and then we finish with obstacles and public relations immediately after. The trail course is designed to be a challenging trail with things you would actually run into while packing.

Spend the morning swimming or relaxing visiting with old friends and enjoy watching the show in the afternoon and evening. The public relations course is designed by current and prior registered therapy llama handlers and is one of the more unique public relations courses around. You don’t have to be in a rush to leave, take Sunday to hike, swim or just relax with us!
