Some events happening in Cloverdale in August:
August 8 2009 – Cloverdale Blueberry Festival. We always start the morning at the Cloverdale Legion enjoying their blueberry pancake breakfast. This is pancakes, eggs, sausage, and coffee and orange drink. And yes you can go back for seconds. All for $4/person. From about 7:30am to 11am. This will be a busy morning with many of the festival’s exhibitors in attendance. Along 176th Street is a Show N Shine with classic cars from the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s. Get there early to enjoy the cars. Past experience is that the Blueberry Festival is usually very hot and sunny. The pavement gets hot and can become unbearable with the sun beating down. There will also be a pie eating contest, music, and the Legion has a BBQ from 5pm to 7pm
August 15 from 10:30am to about noon is a walking tour held at the Surrey Centre Cemetery on Old McLellan Road (60th Avenue). This is about a block west of 168th Street for those who haven’t been there before, across the street from Surrey Centre Elementary School. Cost is $10. Phone the Surrey Museum in Cloverdale to pre-register 604-592-6956. Sorry, I’m not sure what their hours of operation are, but if there’s no answer, they’re closed!
August 22 from 10am to about noon is another walking tour of downtown Cloverdale. Also $10 and pre-register at the Surrey Museum 604-592-6956.
