Named Dawson and Pacey, the charismatic mammals hail from All In Alpacas, an alpaca farm owned by Derek and Lindsay Stoltz and their teenage daughters in Rockwood, Ont., and are this year’s Royal Ambassadors.
The friendly, half-brothers hopped (literally) on the train at Scarborough GO Station to help promote this year’s Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. The event runs from Nov. 1 to 10 at Exhibition Place.
Dawson and Pacey have also been tasked with helping raise awareness about a special promotion GO Transit is offering for the duration of the 10-day event: a combination of Royal admission and GO Transit pass that includes return transportation from any GO station to Exhibition Place and general admission to the fair.
In past years, The Royal has welcomed Kay the Sheep, Winston the Percheron Cross, Turbo the Goat, Lil’ Ben the Miniature Horse, and the rooster duo of The Royal Duke and his son, The Royal Roy, as its official ambassadors.
