Something about the Llama group at the San Juan County Fair "just reached out and grabbed" State Fair Commissioner Barry Halvorson. He was so impressed with the educational displays and the way the kids interacted with the animals and the public that he awarded the group the Black and White Award. Mother Hildegard from Shaw Island leads the group which includes 4-H kids from Shaw and San Juan Island.

The prestigious award is awarded at the sole discretion of the fair commissioner. It can be awarded to an individual, an exhibit or fair boards.

"We are thrilled," Mother Hildegard said. The group has been together for four years. The oldest member is 17-years-old. This year they went for a more subdued display emphasizing education.
