There were 108 smiling faces (under their masks of course) at College Royal 2021 last Friday, October 15^th.

College Royal celebrates the long-standing tradition of agricultural showmanship while celebrating the unique culture of the campus.听 Demonstrations include livestock handling skills, knowledge of agricultural plants and the ever-popular Farmers' Olympics - think hay bale rolling, feed sack racing and of course the famous milk chug.

The event is a testament to generations of students, dedicated to maintaining the culture of animal-husbandry and health, while continuing to improve public awareness of agricultural issues.

Co-Chairs Alesha Dennis, Olivia Bolt and Kaycee Ward organized the event and were pleased with the turnout.

鈥淚t was so fun to be part of organizing these events this year,鈥� said Kaycee.听 鈥淎s a fourth-year student these are memories I will cherish forever. I want to thank the RAC staff and DASA for their continued support through everything鈥�

Olivia felt being a College Royal co-chair was a fun experience.听 "The turn out this year was amazing and people seemed to have a really great time showing their animals.鈥�

Alesha had known for a long time that she wanted to plan College Royal.

鈥淚 grew up going to exhibitions across Nova Scotia and in my first year I was so excited to participate in College Royal," explained Alesha.听 鈥淚n my first year I learned about what a huge tradition it is for students here at the AC and I was so grateful to be a part of it each year - especially this year. 听The energy that floats through the barns the听week leading into College Royal can鈥檛 be found anywhere else. I made memories this year that will last a lifetime and would like to thank each and every person that was a part of its success this year. 鈥�
