College Royal March 17 and 18
College Royal 2007 is ready to roll this weekend, running from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. This year's theme is “A Tradition of Royal Excellence.”
Operating annually since 1925, the student-run open house draws some 30,000 people each year, many of them paying a return visit to see such favourites as the dog and cat shows, the livestock show, the logging competition, the chemistry magic show, the junior tractor rodeo and Old MacDonald's new farm. Always popular with children is the hands-on teddy bear surgery at the Ontario Veterinary College.
Fine art students will be showing and selling their original lithographs, etchings, and relief and screen prints March 16 and 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and March 18 from noon to 5 p.m. in Room 207 of Zavitz Hall.

Tickets are $10 and are available at the Central Student Association office and at the door.
