We're back

GREETINGS FROM LANGLEY, BRITISH COLUMBIA!

It is I, Kimberly Ivany, el capitano of THEE Maple Lodge Farms Special Events Team.

It's been a while since I've blogged about our chicken trails, but I'm happy to report that the Tour de Canada has kicked off once again. Yes, it's summer 2011 and the team is back on the road. Only this time, it's bigger. It's better. And dare I say, tastier.

This summer, we're doing it cold turkey...or should I say, cold chicken. We've still got plenty of chicken hot dogs in our reefer, but our product focus this summer is the NEW and finest deli line from May Family Farms, a sub-brand of Maple Lodge.

Even though the Salsalitta's may be on the back burner, but we've got 11 new flavours of ultra-savoury chicken deli that will make your taste buds say YES!

That's not the only thing that's changed. We've got some more people in the mix! Mike, Josh and I are still here kickin' it, but we've got 2 new addition to the cross-Canada team. We've got Melissa from Mississauga and Victor, all the way from Bulgaria! (Pictures AND interviews to follow ;) )

No, it ain't no Europe, but we're ready to get CANADA hooked on chicken.

And what better way to kick of this great Canadian chicken expedition then serving up some YUM on CANADA DAY?!

Oh yes, the May Family Farms debut was the Cloverdale Millenium Park Canada Day celebration.

Mike, Josh and Victor actually left home with the truck last week, while Melissa and I flew out from Toronto on Wednesday. After meeting up at the Ramada Hotel in Surrey, we had a day to shine up the truck and pick up some buns - (more like 68 million buns) - to get ready our nation's birthday.

There was no birthday cake, but lots and lots of wRappin' - and not just from Elise Estrada on stage. From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., we were serving up Mediterranean, Lime and Herb and Original chicken deli wraps for a healthy happy birthday hoe-down of about 10,000 people!










Missed out?? Don't be sad! This was only event number ONE! Until August 2, we'll be heading back out east, hitting all the major cities across Canada, hosting free BBQs at grocery stores and head offices that Maple Lodge is in partnerships with. We're still in the same 70 foot trailer, hopping from hotel to hotel in our quest to serve the best of May Family Farms.

So stop by this blog daily to see where we are, what we're up to, and maybe YOU will start craving an Original chicken wrap too.
