Alpaca Mascots - Full Moon Alpacas and Chase Tavern Farm were lucky enough to have been chosen to provide the "mascots" for the annual Kiss 108 FM Turkey Toss. Kiss 108 is one of the largest and most listened to radio stations in the Boston area. This event was held in November of 2005. Cindy and Charlie Lavan (from Chase Tavern Farm) and I drove our 2, wonderfully behaved, boys down from Maine to Medford Mass, very early on a frigid Winter's morning. The alpacas drew quite a bit of attention from the high school kids participating in the Turkey Toss, as well as from the 2 morning DJ's, Matt Siegel and Billy Costa. Most had never seen an alpaca before in their lives. I even got to go into the studio with the 2 DJ's, Bob Lobel (a local Boston TV sportscaster), and Andre Tippett (a New England Patriot), and talk live on the air, all about Alpacas, for about 15 minutes. They asked intelligent questions about the animal, the fiber etc., and only one question about "do they spit much" was asked. So all in all nice exposure for the industry.
