March break is close, and if families are looking for ways to keep busy, what better way to do it than heading to Royal Country at the University of Guelph and taking part in its College Royal 2015 celebration March 21 to 22.
College Royal open house offers a wide range of events and activities for everyone, including livestock shows, dog and cat shows, square dancing, faculty and campus tours, logging competitions, a photography show, flower arranging competition, seeds and forages competition and more.
The weekend has events for kids such as Old Mac’s New Farm (an informative tour for kids through the University barn), Jr. tractor rodeo, face painting, Teddy bear surgery and milkshakes at Food Science.
College Royal is the largest student run, university open house event of its kind in North America, and has been an annual tradition for 91 years at the University of Guelph.
Each March, the school is opened to the public and 30,000 visitors. This year’s College Royal president, Eric Ignatz, said the theme of “Take me out to the Royal” will make this year’s event better than ever
College Royal provides a family friendly event that is absolutely free.
