Several members of the Renfrew County 4H members participated at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto.
Anna McIntyre was kind enough to take photos and provide commentary of those members for the readers of Whitewater News.
Thank you Anna.
1. Cameron Coughlin — He did very well for his first time with his Dorset ewe. He didn’t make the cut for his heat, and he placed well with his ewe.
He was 10th for Showmanship and 5th for confirmation
2. Autumn McIntyre was first in her heat and earned Grand Champion Novice Showperson. She was also fifth out of 15 in Southdown ewe.
This is one of the biggest shows that we have had for the Junior Sheep Show at the Royal. There was 146 participants.
