With colder weather on the way
and the final crops being harvested
from the fields, it is once again
time for The Royal Agricultural
Winter Fair, Nov. 2 to 16.
The slogan for the 1996 Royal is
It's Really Down to Earth with the
very-popular garden show, Art of
the Garden, following the theme.
Awed by the beauty of the winter
garden show, enthusiasts discover
fresh, new ideas for next year's gar-
den. Magnificent horses and top
international riders vie for
$750,000 in prizes at the Royal
Horse Show while more than 9,000
farm animals bring the sites, sounds
and smells of rural Canada to the
city.
Featured this year will be the
Budweiser eight-horse hitch and
the Dressage pas de Deux.
The Royal Horse Show is the
third and final stop on the North
American fall circuit for interna-
tional show jumping teams. The
Swedish team will attend for the
first time, competing against the
Canadians, the Americans and the
French.
On opening night, Nov. 7, Ian
Millar and Big Ben will be induct-
ed into Canada's Sports Hall of
Fame. The official opening will
occur the following night, overseen
by Governor-General Romeo
LeBlanc.
The World Cup Canadian Dres-
sage Finals and Show Jumping
World Cup Grand Prix will be held
Nov. 13.
Lieutenant-governor Hal Jack-
man will preside over the closing
