Celebrate blueberries and Cloverdale’s heritage this Saturday, Aug. 10
‘The past really does live here’
by Jennifer Lang
IT’S THE most delicious, laid-back, down-to-earth community celebration of the year, and it’s all happening in Cloverdale this Saturday, when the annual homage to the tasty and nutritious blueberry takes centre stage in the historic town centre. There will be a little something for everyone at the 10th annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival, the ultimate community event, blending an old-fashioned Show ’n Shine for cars, trucks , and motorcycles, along with live, retro music, plus blueberry pie-eating contests, homemade blueberry pie sales, and blueberry pancake breakfasts, along with free trolly rides, vendor markets and an arts Q Show ‘n Shine festival. “We have everything Q Pie-eating that moves and has contests wheels,” says organizer, Paul Orazietti, executive Q Food, fun and director of the Cloverdale free family Business Improvement entertainment Association. The festival celebrates Q Visit cloverdale. the abundance of locally com for details grown berries with food and festivities, all while capitalizing on a bounty of local events, including the Surrey Show ’n Shine, a classic car show featuring everything from custom outfitted hot-rods to Model As, and everything in between. That’s not to diminish the role of the mighty blueberry, a fruit that’s pushed Surrey into third place in B.C. in terms of annual blueberry production. Poundwise, blueberries outnumber all other berries grown in the province combined, Orazietti adds.
