Allen the Alpaca set to visit Spruce Meadows Christmas Market [Video]

The Spruce Meadows Christmas Market is bringing in a special guest  Sunday.

Allen the Alpaca will be one of the animals on-site Sunday at the market,  which a Spruce Meadows spokesperson said drew record-setting crowds on its opening weekend.

One of the favourite attractions is Comet and Dasher, a pair of micro-mini Highland Cows that have become real crowd favourites.

The cows follow people around and can be bottle fed.

For the next two weekends, Calgarians can browse a wide variety of goods from more than 330 vendors selling handcrafted goods and festive treasures, while supporting an organization trying to tackle the problem of a lack of affordable housing in the city.
