Spotlight: September 19, 2010 – Fresh! Fraser Valley

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

We are so excited that this week has finally arrived. Fresh! Fraser Valley is taking place this Saturday, September 25th and we can’t wait! You are all invited to join us from 9AM – 5PM, at the Ramada Plaza in Abbotsford, as we celebrate our glorious Fraser Valley!

Fresh! Fraser Valley is a collaboration between FVP’s Kristi Ferguson and Danielle Knowles of Red Pencil Editing Services. As we both work with many talented local businesses, we thought it would be great to bring together the best of the Fraser Valley under one roof, for one day with a locally owned business showcase and a dynamic workshop series. The intention is to showcase the best of the Fraser Valley: our artisans, entrepreneurs and exciting “Mom ‘n Pop” enterprises, and to encourage area residents to support these local businesses.
