The Hoosier Llama Alpaca Association (HLAA) is an organization interested in nurturing relationships between experienced and new ideas. The HLAA is an open minded group with many years of experience and always willing to teach, and learn. Our main goal is to provide positive public awareness about llamas and alpacas. The education far outweighs the animal itself as you learn its unique traits and uses. New owners/enthusiasts can find a wealth of knowledge from the seasoned members you can find at many of the activities the HLAA sponsors. You are not required to own to share the wealth of knowledge and interests, and and belong to the HLAA.
