Changes At Royal Mean New Dairy Classic Dates

Some changes at this year's Royal Agricultural Winter Fair mean new dates for the TD Canadian 4-H Dairy Classic.

This year's event will take place on Tuesday, November 8th and Wednesday, November 9th.

This is all tied into the Royal's announced plans to expand and relocate the Ring of Excellence, which is where the Classic is held.

The new ring will be 90 per cent the size of the Ricoh Coliseum - but will have 50 per cent more seating than the current facility.

The livestock show schedule has been adjusted to relieve congestion in the barn on opening weekend and to improve safety for exhibitors and visitors.

Organisers are hoping the changes will draw a larger audience for the Classic, improve the experience for youth dairy exhibitors and benefit the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair overall.
