The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair honored one of their most dedicated volunteers this week at their Annual General Meeting in Toronto, Ontario.

‘Today, we are especially proud to recognize one of The Royal’s most dedicated ambassadors, Murray Reissner, with the King Charles III Coronation Medal. Created by His Majesty, on the advice of the Canadian Government, this medal honours Canadians who have made a significant impact—and Murray is a shining example. For over 30 years, he has been a tireless volunteer and advocate for the dairy cattle shows, a cornerstone member of the Dairy Jr. Classic Committee, and the long-standing ringmaster for both the 4-H Dairy Classic and National Holstein Shows. His passion for agriculture, youth, and the Holstein breed has helped uphold the world-class standard of The Royal. Congratulations, Murray—and thank you for your unwavering dedication to the Fair.’

Congratulations, Murray, from all of us here at Cowsmopolitan! We’ve benefited and enjoyed your expertise and gentility at the Royal – well deserved!
