Sponsored Spotlight: Kilby Historic Site

Friday, August 27th, 2010

There is a great little piece of history located in the Fraser Valley. A gem where one can play with adorable animals, enjoy a delicious meal and be transported back to the early 1900′s.

Kilby Historic Site is located in the small town of Harrison Mills, BC.  This five acre property is a step back in time, a place to enjoy a historical living story. Take a walk through the early century buildings and see life just as it was in 1906. From the antique stoves to the historical milk house, the early century clothing to the fully stocked general store, every piece of Kilby Historic Site tells an interesting tale.

Spotlight: July 5, 2010 – Shoreline Tours

Monday, July 5th, 2010

Everywhere we look in the Fraser Valley, we are spoiled with breathtaking landscapes. Harrison Hot Springs has to be one of the prettiest local places to explore; Harrison Lake is absolutely splendid. We recently took a lake tour with Shoreline Tours and were treated to an afternoon of beauty and relaxation.

Shoreline Tours, located at Harrison Hot Springs’ Resort Marina, is run by Captain Steve Dunn.  Steve tells us that there has been a boat cruise on Harrison Lake since the 1950′s! As a teenager, Steve and his brother used to work on the lake cruises, which led to Steve following his passion and starting his own tour company on this beautiful lake. Talk about a local expert – Steve knows Harrison Lake like the back of his hand!

Spotlight: June 21, 2010 – Campbell’s Gold Honey Farm & Meadery

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Campbell’s Gold Honey Farm & Meadery is an interesting, educational, fun and tasty place for the whole family to visit.  Mike and Judy Campbell are retired professionals whose hobby has grown into a delightfully sweet gem located in Abbotsford.

Several years ago Mike started beekeeping as a hobby and started making honey in the mid nineties.  When Mike retired, his hobby became a thriving business and when Judy retired it really took off!  They recalled their living room being taken over by honey shelves.  Eventually they knew it was time to go big or get out and they decided on go big! An old barn was torn down and the present production, education and retail facility was built.

Spotlight: April 26, 2010 – The Goddess Movement

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Strength.  Graceful.  Athletic.  Not necessarily words you would normally associate with ‘pole dancing’.  Fraser Valley’s The Goddess Movement has certainly helped change our team’s impression of pole fitness.  Every woman can enjoy this empowering form of exercise.  Yes, even you!

We first learned of The Goddess Movement at the West Coast Women’s Show.  The demonstrations of pole dancing weren’t smarmy and overtly sexual like we were used to seeing.  It was athletic, beautiful and it looked very FUN!

Team FVP has tried out our fair share of yoga studios over the years: some are great, some are strict, some are too hot or too cold. One of our favourite yoga studios in the Fraser Valley is Hari Om Yoga in Langley.  This non-denominational studio is comfortable, welcoming and has an excellent retail store attached to the studio area.
