The 2010 edition of the Royal Winter Fair is in the books, but here is one last peek at the week in Toronto! Katie DeBruin attended the party celebrating Winterbay Goldwyn Lotto being named Grand Champion of the Holstein show and sent us a few images of the event!

Congratulations to Jeff Butler and Peter Vail on Lotto’s win!

Gary Tubolino and Peter Vail talk champions with the Donaldson (middle) who purchased the Grand Champion Brown Swiss earlier in the week.

Quite a few rosettes between these three – Terry Beckett exhibited the Junior Champion of the show – RockyMountain Goldwyn Trisha; Jeff Butler and Peter Vail.

Everywhere you looked – people were having a good time!
