The woolly rock star also made appearances along Cressy St, with a number of local businesses getting the chance to meet the popular alpaca, before he moved on to other towns in our region.
Unfortunately, our team at the Pastoral Times missed out on a visit.
If Hephner dropped into your business, and you snapped a photo, we'd love to see it.
Email your pictures to rowan.frazer@denipt.com.au or send them to the Pastoral Times via Facebook so we can share some of the highlights from his day around town.

Halloween came early in the Deniliquin CBD on Tuesday, with a reverse trick or treat surprise.
The Kurrajong drama group made an appearance dressed in Halloween outfits, and continued their tradition of spreading seasonal joy.
Instead of asking businesses for lollies, they were handing them out.
Armed with buckets of Halloween themed lollipops, candy bracelets and other delicious goodies, they spread a bit of spooky joy for local workers.
The official Halloween festivities for Deniliquin will be held on Saturday, October 31, thanks to Deniliquin Mental Health Awareness Group (turn to page 7).

The Deniliquin Business Chamber is encouraging local operators to take advantage of upcoming Small Business Month events.
A plethora of webinars are available, with one webinar focusing on helping businesses refine their marketing, strengthen their brand and attract more customers, while a lunch session will explore the opportunities and challenges artificial intelligence presents for businesses preparing for the future.
Another session will focus on tax, encouraging and teaching tradies how to keep on top of their taxes, these are just some examples of what’s on offer.
