The Icon's llama friends send a letter to Santa
The Icon received a letter to Santa from one of the llamas at the Hard Rock Llama farm, rural Bluffton. Anyone who attends the Bluffton Arts and Crafts show each May has had a chance to say hello to some of the llamas. The farm is operated by Mike, Wendy and Mandy Gerken.
The letter came from a baby llama, who is yet to have a name, however, it signed the letter "Milk Toast."
We invited viewers to read the letter and to get an update on the life of llamas in rural Bluffton.
The letter is on three pages in separate attachments at the bottom of this styory.
