New We will be offering a Llama Auction of only 20 Llamas! New I will take consignments and will post these sale llamas on my website as well as do mass emailing to give many the opportunity to view our sale offerings, and make needed accommodations prior to our sale. New These sale llamas will be auctioned off at 5:00 p.m. before our Fellowship Dinner and free drawings, when everyone has come together after the show! I will make a sale listing with photos that will go into each exhibitor's show packet. Local advertising for the MM events as well as listings on the ILR Events Calendar and in many major publications! We will have a parade of the sale llamas during the show on Saturday! This has always been an integral part of previous MM shows and we want to offer this opportunity for both buyer and seller at a special time during our weekend! We have had new buyers, 4-H families, breeders and exhibitors buying llamas here at past Millennium Magic auctions! For these llama auction animals, send me a photocopy of their registrations, a brief write up, and a good photo for the above uses. This can be done by email for your convenience. New Our dinner this year will be held at 7 p.m!

The past MM breeder's futurities have shown a substantial amount of payback especially when you consider the fact we do not have a herdsire nomination fee, we do not hold any percentage back, but all monies go into the futurity payback scale each year. I take all leftover MM monies and put all of that into this futurity. This is a great place to showcase your breeding programs. Any help with sponsorships monies will help to increase our payback. It is because of those that have donated and sponsored in the past that we can continue to offer the weekend of events with the fun twists that we do. Plan on joining us at our Sunday morning worship service that will be led again this year by our very own Mr. Don Topliff. The only stalls that will be pre assigned are for the MM Gold and Silver sponsors. Other stalls will not be pre assigned before arrival. All stalls must be cleaned before leaving. Some barns may be available closer to the show arena, you may bring gates if you wish to use those areas; however you still need to pay stall fees and clean out all stalls. We invite you to come and be a part of the ever growing, ever popular Millennium Magic! New plan on being a part of our very first Millennium Magic Fall Festival September 27-28, 2008!

Our host motel is Super 8 (517) 265-8888, we have a block of 20 rooms held at the rate of $65.60 + tax. Reservations need to be made by April 20, 2008, mention Millennium Magic.

Millennium Magic history
The first Millennium Magic was held in 2000. For many years I had thought about holding a unique type of show with not only a llama show, but also a breeder's futurity, a llama sale and a few other exciting offerings. Prior to MM, there had not been a futurity held in Michigan. I also wanted the flexibility to add other fun things to the weekend of events. Throughout the years some things have been added and some things have been taken out to create the annual uniqueness and magic to the Millennium Magic event! We offer a very fun weekend with fellowship, tough competition, and a weekend you will never forget. My dream of this being a great event has come true. We are nationally recognized and have folks attend our show from several states in the US. The exhibitors have come to love our wonderful fellowship time and dinner that our local 4-H families put on for us on Saturday evenings, with all proceeds going to the Lenawee 4-H. Many exhibitor's come together to donate items for our donation table and oftentimes there are enough free prizes that nearly everyone gets a free gift as numbers are called throughout dinner. MM has had many generous sponsors and volunteers throughout the years that really help this event to run smoothly. We offer really exciting awards to our winners! We have the best show photographers, Dale & Gayle Perne' of IPI Instaplak awards, and not only do they have our photos ready in minutes, but they offer some really great award ideas for our event. Our MM breeder's futurity pays back through 10th place along with first place & Grand & Reserve awards being given. One of the first Futurities in existence, we are still the only futurity to offer the vast array of classes that we do. Check out our mm futurity page for more info and to see the amount we have been able to payout to our exhibitor's throughout the years. Our Sunday mornings always begin with a beautiful worship service before our futurity classes. This is a one of a kind event! We have a full offering of all classes at the double judged llama show, we have a great dinner, generally a really nice offering of llamas for sale, rounding out the weekend with our fantastic MM breeder's futurity - a great place to showcase all breeding programs. You can see llama halter classes, all four wool divisions offered, showmanship classes, cart classes, and many performance classes such as obstacle, public relations and pack classes for youth and open entrants. In 2006 we offered two very special exhibitor's with disabilities classes for the very first time. We took a year off in 2007! Once ILR stepped up to the plate to offer our llama community a great place and venue for an award prgram, it was time to "give er our all" once again and we again bring to you an exciting weekend, at a wonderful place that enables all to enjoy our llama friends and come together to see all that llamas really can do! You will see many more New things offered to you in 2008: Miniature llama classes, Youth Halter classes, new sale and dinner time format for Saturday evening. Best of Show awards to be given during our open llama show, and one of the best changes of all is that we will no longer be an ALSA sanctioned show. Millennium Magic show motto: Take some time along the way to see what's nice about today. Back to top
