Camels: From Kansas to India
January 29, 2017

Valeri Crenshaw
Did you know that camels originated in North America?
and migrated to India?
Hear Valeri Crenshaw, a Kansan who owns a camel or two in the Flint Hills, speak about her recent visit to the Pushkar Camel Fair in India where she discussed Kansas camels with world-renowned experts. Hear about emerging markets for camel milk and creating a demand for these lovely creatures.
Valeri will bring a few “camel” things that she found at the Camel Fair markets for show and tell. Photographs too.
If you’ve wondered about India – or if you’ve been there – you are invited to bring
your questions, experiences, and artifacts/photos to share.
Think of it as “India Day at The Volland Store,” a virtual get-away in January
and a delightfully entertaining afternoon
The perfect finale to
