The Warren County Camelid Club was founded on the mutual love and admiration of Alpacas and Llamas - we've yet to have anyone show up with a Camel, but there're welcome too. The club's primary focus is on Alpacas and Llamas and a Camelid project is required for membership. Our members have many other projects too, but the core of our club is everything Camelid.
