Sugar and Spice, identical twin Angora goats born on a farm in Bowmanville, rode the GO Train from Scarborough to Union Station on November 5, 2026, as the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair's 2026 ambassadors, the fair says.

The goats were born on July 3, 2024, at Becky Visser's farm in Bowmanville, the fair says. They first won attention at the 2025 fair, where they competed in the Youth Goat Show.

The 104th Royal Agricultural Winter Fair runs November 6 to 15 at Exhibition Place in Toronto, the fair says, and GO Transit offers a combined Royal admission and GO Transit pass for the trip.
