From hearty comfort foods to sweet treats, vendors are preparing to feed thousands of hungry visitors who will pack Aldergrove’s streets on Saturday, Sept. 6. Among them is Veronica’s Perogies, a local favourite that’s been part of the event for years. Owner Veronica Cave said her team has been working around the clock to get ready. “We’re going to start early. We’re going to start at 7:00 a.m. cooking up perogies,” Cave explained. To keep up with demand, Cave will have six staff members on hand and two setups, their Aldergrove storefront and a branded tent along Fraser Highway. “We’re planning to do probably about four days of production and that would probably be about 600 dozen perogies…that’s 7,200 perogies.” Cave said she plans on doing a “Cruise-In special” but hasn’t quite decided what it’s going to be. 👉 More Details Here
