EAT! Fraser Valley
The weekend of September 16 – 18, coming out to the Fraser Valley – a place already renowned for it’s famous top-quality produce, dairy, and meat — will be the EAT! Fraser Valley fair. This food fair will feature over 100 different local shops, artisans, vendors and producers. This coming together really brings together the highilghts of this already fantastic area of BC for agriculture and food production.

Presented by Food Network Canada, this event will feature celebrity chefs, appy-sized bites of local restaurants dishes, and (most excitingly for me!) a LIVE Iron Chef Canada-style face-off. That’s right – chefs competing in front of the audiences eyes during all three days of the festival.
As someone who dreams of being on the panel, or even the audience of Iron Chef, this is probably the best attraction possible other than the actual food itself. Keeping witht the theme of Iron Chef, past Canadian winners will be featured on the celebrity chef stage including Vancouver’s own Rob Feenie and Montreal chef Chuck Hughes of Chuck’s Day Off.
If you are looking to come to the event, I would recommend bringing your favourite Food Network junkie, a mind ready for culinary inspiration, and an empty stomach.

My favourite local treat is very local- my mother’s brownies and cookies!
I’d love to be entered for the B&B stay at Clayburn Village B&B! I love Abbotsford because of the slower pace, the numerous farms and friendly people that live there
Entry for the bed and breakfast prize: Abbostford is a favourite of mine to visit because of the farms, local produce and it’s raspberry capital! I looked on the Clayburn Village bed and breakfast website and it looks like an amazing place to stay with great history. I’d love to use that as my home base to do a circle farm tour!
