"The Event Where Everyone Is A Star!"
For your convenience, the following pages include all the Weekend Workshops, the 2016 Show
Challenges, the Class List, the weekend Schedule, the new Photo Show categories, the fun Amazing Race
Obstacle, the Scavenger Collage Challenge, and the show Entry Form - all in one packet.
This show is for fun, experience, education, and meeting new friends - an awesome weekend! Don't
hesitate to enter something that sounds interesting - even if you're new to llamas. It's all fun and
definitely not all about winning! Ribbons, cash premiums, and prizes are given for all events. There's
something for everyone - and everyone is a "star" at this show! Ten placings given in all llama classes.
The single entry fee includes all events plus a Friday night Pizza Party, a full dinner for all family
members on Saturday, and breakfast on Saturday. There is an additional charge of only $3 for materials
for each of the Fiber Workshops.
The Vet Seminars are unique, interesting, and educational. In Seminar A, for Seniors only, youth will be
hands-on with incisions and suturing procedures in the OR. In Seminar B, youth will be learning handson about giving injections and drawing blood safely - why and how. Seminar C will discuss all about
these deadly critters - parasites - and how to recognize them. All this is care and herd management to
keep your animals healthy and happy - especially for those new to llamas.
There are two Sub-Jr. Classes in the Class List, Showmanship & Obstacle. These two classes are for
those younger youth siblings who are old enough to participate but under 8 years of age. We can provide
a llama for you if needed. The entry fee of $30 includes both dinners, breakfast, money for the Friday

sneak peak at what this challenge is all about. You can practice ahead of time before the Jamboree.
1. You can do this challenge by yourself or form a team of up to 4 people. Try and make your team various
age levels. If you don't have a team, come to the Clerk's desk and we will help you form a team for this really
fun new Challenge.
2. You can work on this Challenge in between your classes and other activities starting on Friday morning and
ending at Saturday at 12:01 p.m.
3. Each team will be given a phrase and you must take a photo of an object beginning with the same letter as as
each letter in the phrase. You will then put these photos together in a creative collage and post to the All
American Youth Jamboree website no later than 12:01 p.m. on Saturday. Once posted on the website, you will
collect "likes" for your creative collage. The team with the most "likes" is the winner of this Challenge! Voting
will end at 12:01 on Sunday. Prizes will be given to 1st through 3rd place!
Here's a sample of how it is done .................
1. The phrase for this example is:
Have
Fun
Be
Happy
2. Download the Pic Collage App to your cell phone.
Pic Collage
App
3. Find objects that begin with each letter in the sample phrase and take a
photo. Example the first letter is "H", so how about a photo of a hand?
The next letter is "a". What will you take a picture of that begins with the
letter "a"? The next object to photo must begin with "v".
4. After you have collected all the photos you need, open the app and use the first single plain layout.
5. Tap and find the photos you've taken on your phone.
6. Download the photos needed for the first line of the phrase. Arrange them in order to spell out your word.
Photos can be moved around and sized.
7. Now download the photos needed for the second line of the phrase and arrange them in order. Repeat these
same steps for lines 3 & 4 of the phrase "Have Fun Be Happy".
8. You can now add a background, stickers, or letters to your pictures, and decorate your collage. Also add
your team name as a title for your collage.
9. When your collage is complete, save to your photo library.
10. Go to the All American Youth Jamboree facebook page and post your finished collage for voting.
11. Vote for your own collage by checking "like". We encourage you to also "like" at least one other team's
collage as well as your own.
12. You may promote your collage to your friends and family to get more "likes".
13. The top 3 collages with the most number of "likes" by Sunday, June 22nd, at 12:01 p.m. are the winners!
