November 2014 - Toronto ON
The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, colloquially called The Royal, is an annual fall fair which takes place over two weeks in November. Inaugurated in 1922 and originally housed in the Coliseum, on the grounds of Exhibition Place, the event has expanded to also take up the Direct Energy Centre and remains an important exhibit for livestock breeders.
Butter sculptures - behind glass.
I like the butter sculptures.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen such a big agricultural Fair... It must be fabulous impression... The butter sculptures are tremendous...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of gorgeous animals. Looks like it was a fun day.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great show. I have never seen butter sculptures before. Good thing it is not too warm.
ReplyDeleteI love a country show. Great selection of pics to help us feel like we were all there with you :-)
ReplyDeleteOne of these years I really do have to attend that. Excellent shots!
ReplyDeleteI love the butter sculptures too. The photo of all those udders fit to burst made me squirm! I've never seen a deformed vegetable section at a show like this before. My father could win a deformed carrot prize.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time when I was a reporter a photographer and I used to trek round local ag shows - but I don't remember ever seeing butter sculptures! Wonder if they have to work at a certain sculpture so it doesn't melt. Had computer problems, so my Snapshot was very late this week http://chriscross53.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/mushroomy-things.html
