ORONO, Maine — The Maine Animal Club is sponsoring its 23rd annual Orono Royal on April 30 at the University of Maine’s J. F. Witter Teaching and Research Center off College Avenue. The public is welcome to attend the livestock show that starts at 9 a.m. and includes dairy cows, beef and sheep to be followed by games and other events.
Food will be available throughout the day. Activities will conclude by 1 p.m.
The Maine Animal Club is composed of about 25 students, both undergraduate and graduate, who expand their agricultural knowledge as well as their knowledge of animal science, according to club president Samantha Foster.
“We’d like to share with students, parents, faculty, friends and alumni the activities taking place at the Witter Farm, our accomplishments, and the progress of our animal science and equine programs,” says Foster.
On May 1, the Orono Royal will be followed by the 7th annual Spring Fever Horse Show at 9:00 a.m.
