Ontarians know November has
arrived when the Royal Winter Fair
gets underway.
This year, the 67th edition of the
Royal, which will run from Nov. 7-
18, offers the more than 350,000
expected visitors the opportunity to
see, touch and taste the best of
Canadian agriculture.
While rural producers promote
their products both in and outside
the ring, urban visitors will learn
the story of agriculture, from farm
to table.
Special features at the Royal will
be the abundance of equestrian
events and the Winter Garden
Show with its displays.
The equestrian events, officially
opened on Nov. 9 by the Earl of
Lindsay, features the Irish show
jumpers who have earned the most
victories in International Show
Jumping this year. The Irish will
compete against teams from Cana-
da, the U.S. and Switzerland.
During all paid performances
throughout the show, the RCMP
will perform its Musical Ride and a
special eight horse dressage will be
staged on Nov. 15-17.
Agricultural self sufficiency and
land stewardship will be the focus
of discussion at the fmal session of
the "Facing the Future" series being
held at Ontario Street United
Church on Sunday, Nov. 19 at 7:30
p.m. Five well known and
respected agriculturalists will offer
their views following each of the
two video presentations to be
shown that evening. George
Thompson, Don Lobb, Arend
Streutker and Jack Kroes will be
the panelists for the discussion, and
the facilitator will be Bob
Humphries, from OMAFRA.
Since Huron County is one of the
most agriculturally productive
areas in the world and food
production of an overpopulated
world is fast becoming critical, this
is an event that those involved in
agriculture won't want to miss.
The video-discussion series,
being presented by the
Environment Committee of Ontario
Street United Church, features
video-taped interviews of author
and theologian, John B. Cobb Jr.,
who with Herman Daly, an

The theme of this year's Winter
Garden Show is inspired by Aus-
tralia.
Visitors will view displays and
related exhibits centred around the
concept of permaculture, developed
by Australian, Bill Mollison to deal
with his country's acute erosion
problem.
There will be scheduled live
appearances by garden experts as
well as information available with
computer access to related electron-
ic data.
When it comes to animals, the
Royal has more than 10,000 parad-
ing before judges during the com-
petitions.
This year, the Royal will host the
National Simmental Show and the
Saanan breed of goat has been

goat show.
For dairy producers around the
world, the Royal is known as one
of the best shows, drawing hun-
dreds of guests to the second week
of the fair. At the 1994 Holstein
