2025 Lifetime Achievement
Kirk & Peggy Gresham
LANA is proud to announce Kirk & Peggy Gresham as the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Kirk and Peggy Gresham have been involved with llamas since 1988.
Peggy and her family began The Llama Collection in 1988 and became very active in the llama community. She was a founding board member of the SW Washington Llama Association and she and her husband, Kirk, managed The Llama Affaire show for 25 years. She began volunteering for the youth program at Herd Health Day and became a member of the Medical Research Committee in 1996. Peggy chaired the NWCF Stud Service Auction and Banquet for many years and continues to provide support for their educational and fundraising programs.
She has served over 30 years as a 4-H Leader for Llamas & Alpacas, Vet Science, Fiber Arts and Know Your Government and was inducted into the WA State 4-H Hall of Fame. She currently serves on the WA State 4-H Fair Board as well as being the NWCF Treasurer.
Congratulations Kirk & Peggy!

2025 Humms & Hugs
Ron "MacGyver" Pedroni
LANA is proud to announce Ron Pedroni as the 202 Humms & Hugs Award Winner.
Ron Pedroni, also lovingly known as MacGyver, was surprised with this year’s Humms and Hugs Award for his dedicated service to LANA, particularly in regard to the Hobo Show. He has cheerfully supplied untold hours of manpower to put up the Hobo Village the day before and take it down on Sunday upon the conclusion of the show. His pleasant demeanor and unflagging patience has been invaluable to the success of this particular event. But he has always been readily available to deal with the unexpected and always on hand to give a hand. LANA gratefully and sincerely thanks him for his dedication to the camelid community and LANA and the Hobo Show.
Congratulations Ron!
