Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry is ready to celebrate the midway point of the summer with the return of their Barn Burner Barbecue and Car Show.
“We’re going to have a lot of different things going on that day,” said events manager Karen Ketting-Olivier. “We want people to come down, get your food, and enjoy the day.”
Driving into Chilliwack July 27, the event features ice-cold drinks, a coffee truck, a kids’ zone with face-painting, a climbing wall and a mechanical bull, and of course, many varieties of barbecued food.
“There’s four different groups of us that are going to be barbecuing and serving our own product,” said Ketting-Olivier. “All of the proceeds are then being donated to Ruth and Naomi’s Mission.”
A car show runs throughout the day, with close to 100 cars expected. Those who want to register their car can do so on the store’s website.
The event returns after a four-year hiatus, but unlike previous renditions, this one is not a barbecuing competition.
“Previously it was more of an intense competition and people lined up for their sampling,” Ketting-Olivier said. “But this one is more of an enjoyable event, no pressure.”

On top of drinks, food and some pretty cool cars, event go-ers will be treated to live entertainment from local musical talent.
“I know there’s a lot going on that weekend but come on down and have some fun,” said Ketting-Olivier. “There’ll be something for everyone.”
The Barn Burner will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at The Farm Store at 4540 Simmons Rd.
