Welcome to the 7th annual
Cloverdale Blueberry Festival
O n behalf of Surrey City
Council, I want to wel-
come you to the 7th
Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Fes-
tival! This event is a great oppor-
tunity for us all to celebrate our
vibrant agricultural community.
Blueberries are one of my fa-
vourite berries. With numerous
health benefits, they taste great
and are great for you. I hope this
festival will help you to discover
Mayor Dianne Watts
the many innovative ways you can
enjoy the benefits of blueberries.
Surrey has a strong agricultural
heritage and we value the richness of our farming commu-
nity. With one third of our land base being protected agri-
cultural land this thriving festival speaks to the diversity of
products being produced locally in our city.
Thank you for supporting this year’s festival, I hope
you enjoy the many fresh foods, activities and displays.
My thanks go out to all the volunteers and organizers of
this event, with special thanks to the Cloverdale Business
Improvement Association and the Cloverdale District
Chamber of Commerce for making this yearly event such
a success.
Sincerely,
Dianne L. Watts

W hy do we love the blueberry so?
Of course, we all know about its health
benefits. Researchers call them a “superfruit.”
With their high antioxidant levels they have been proven
to slow down aging and reduce cell damage. they contain
condensed tannins which means they help provent urinary
tract infections and have a natural compound linked to re-
ducing eyestrain.
So mabye we love blueberries for their health benefits.
Or maybe it’s because of their versatility. they can be eaten
fresh or frozen. Boiled, mashed, pureed and baked. Put
into pies, cakes, squares, crumbles, cobblers, salads, breads,
jams, jellies and syrups. They go on top of pancakes, waffles,
ice cream, even meat dishes. They’re the first to be picked
off the party fruit tray and the favouirte of kids and adults
alike.
But most likely, we love them becauase of their taste. The
blueberry is easy to eat and refreshingly simple. Just wash
and you’ve got yourself an instant edible delight.
It really is an incredible food. SO it goes to follow that
one of the best little communities in Canada would pay
tribute to this fruit with an annual Blueberry Festival.
We are excited to bring you a full listing of events and
some of the festival highlights wihtin these pages. Be sure
to check out the businesses who have made this supple-
ment and this festival possible, and odn’t forget to thank
your local BIA and Chamber representatives for putting
this amazing event together.
These pages have all you need to know to make your
Blueberry Festival experience memorable. Pack up the
kids, bring an empty belly and come one, come all, to the
7th Annual Blueberry Festival!

7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival

Blueberry festival seizes bounty - and local spirit

Celebrate the 7th annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival Aug. 14-15 with a variety of events to suit your tastes

T he Cloverdale Blueberry Festival just might be the ultimate community event.

It celebrates the abundance of locally-grown berries with food and festivities
– all while while capitalizing on a bounty of local events that demonstrate Clover-
dale’s irrepressible community spirit.
Along with blueberries galore, the mid-August celebration features a classic car show
and pie eating contests, an arts festival, BMX demonstrations, live music and more.
“It’s driven by volunteers,” says Paul Orazietti, executive director of the Cloverdale Busi-
ness Improvement Association.
The BIA partners with the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, along a host of other lo-
cal organizations and volunteers, to put on the blueberry festival.
“This is the epitome of a community event. We bring in as many groups as possible to
do their events,” Orazietti says.
Clubs include the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6, which hosts a blueberry pan-
cake breakfast and barbecue, the Cloverdale Rotary Club, which also hosts a bar-
becue, as well as the Lions Club, local soccer teams, and even local Beavers and
Scouts.
The 7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival Aug. 14 to 15
promises to be bigger and better this year, with new events like
the antique tractor pull at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino,
where pre-1960 tractors will compete over the course of
two days.
The pull area starts at the west end of the grand-
stand and finishing close to the winners’ circle. The
two-day Blueberry Antique Tractor Pull also fea-
tures a barbecue and live music.
This year’s festivities also feature returning fa-
vourites, like the Family Zone at Clover Square
Village Mall, where all sorts of activities are going
on all day long on the festival’s main day, Saturday
Aug. 14.
Along with BMX stunt shows, blueberry pancake
breakfast and a barbecue (hosted by the Cloverdale
Lions Club), there are pie eating contests, square
dancing and even a talent showcase. Local country
vocalist Danica Danielsen, a rising star, is among
the performers lined up for the event.
Other Family Zone attractions include a fun zone for the kids, an antique tractor display
and Cinemazoo – an animal agency, which is among the exhibitors who will be setting up
displays and booths in the Family Zone. Face painting, balloons and blueberry tattoos are
also part of the activities planned for kids.
Also on Saturday is the 5th annual Blueberry Art Festival, taking place across Highway
10 at Surrey Museum Plaza. The festival includes a juried artwalk and a craft fair. Some of
Surrey’s most talented artists will be showing and selling their work.
There’s also going to be an entertainment stage featuring programming lined up by the
Arts Council of Surrey.
Blueberry sellers and other vendors will be on hand, including the United Church. The
vendor market is located at 176 Street and 56A Avenue.
Of course, the main event is the Surrey Show N’ Shine, a car show modeled after
the Langley Cruise In.
Muscle cars, vintage trucks, antique autos and lovingly-restored classics –
from hot rods to motorcycles – will be taking over several streets in historic
downtown Cloverdale.
Entrants’ vehicles will be organized according to category, in dif-
ferent sections along 176 and 176A streets.
SPEED Channel’s Brett “The Big Schwag” Wagner – an
alumnus of TV’s Monster Garage – is once again perform-
ing MC duties at the event, running 9 a.m. to to 3 p.m.,
with awards given out between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m.
There’ll be live entertainment featuring classic rock at
Hawthorne Square.
Formerly known as the Pacific Highway Show &
Shine, the event has been re-branded with the Sur-
rey stamp.
The organizers, who also work on the massive
Langley Cruise In – taking a hiatus this year – want it
to become Surrey’s signature car event.
Also new this year is Cruise to the Beach, organized by
the Coasters Car Club. After the Show N’ Shine’s awards
presentations wrap up at about 5 p.m, participating driv-
ers will climb into their vintage vehicles and head south to
White Rock, where they’ll rally at Semiahmoo Park at East
Beach on Marine Drive.

7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival

For fun, for prize, come eat a whole pie

It just wouldn’t be a food-
themed festival without a pie eat-
ing contest. And the annual Clo-
verdale Blueberry Festival does
not disappoint in this regard. Be
sure to check out this entertaining
event in downtown Cloverdale.
The pie-eating contest is co-
ordinated by Carolyn Orazietti,
though she says for this event,
she’s better known as ‘The Pie
Lady’.
“The weirdest moments happen
at the pie eating contest,” Orazietti
states.
She has stories that range from
a kid with a blueberry stuck so far
up his nose – he was trying to pick
it out with his finger – to teenage
girls that start the competition
and then realize they don’t want
to look like pigs so they only take
a few dainty bites.
You get real “Christmas card

7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival
The mighty blueberry
B.C. one of the leading producers of blueberries world-wide
Debbie Etsell, acting executive director of the
BC Blueberry Council, just cannot say enough
good things about the mighty blueberry.
This small berry packs a powerful punch, and
Etsell says the more research
done on this fruit, the
more benefits it’s found
to have.
“It’s one of the
healthiest fruits
and it’s fun to
eat,” Etsell says.
“No peeling, no
pitting and no
slicing!”
Just wash
and go, these
dark blue berries
can be eaten raw
or in a bowl of ice
cream. They go in pies,
smoothies, cakes, crepes,
and on top of waffles,
With the research proving its health benefits,
this tiny berry is on the rise to becoming one of
Canada’s most popular fruit choices. Etsell says
while it should be labeled a health food, folks at
the BC Blueberry Council like to call it nature’s
candy because of its taste.
The BC Blueberry Council’s mandate is to
promote, research, provide industry relations
and grower education.
There’s more than 650 hardworking blue-
berry farmers working in B.C., all growing high
bush blueberries. The other type of blueberries
grown in Canada are low bush berries and they

are primarily found on Canada’s east coast.
B.C. grows 95 per cent of the high bush blue-
berries in all of Canada, and we’re the second
largest growers of blueberries in the world next
to Michigan.
Etsell reports 89 million pounds of blueber-
ries come out of B.C. farms each year, making
it a prime export product. Shipments go across
Canada and into the continental North Ameri-
can market.
“The little growing B.C. blueberry farms are
big business now,” Etsell states. “The rest of the
world is recognizing it too.”
Blueberry farms can be found right from
Richmond through to Hope, with Abbotsford
having a larger percentage of the farms. This is
a good growing zone because of our moderate
tempertures and enough warm days to allow
the berries to sweeten as they ripen. The soil is
also very adaptable. FILE PHOTO
