Cloverdale Cowboy Cook Off

Victoria Day Monday, May 20, 2013 Johnston’s will be closed on Monday, May 20 in recognition of Victoria Day. We will resume operations on Tuesday, May 21, 2013.

The second annual Cloverdale Cowboy Cook Off presented by Well Seasoned takes place this weekend, May 17 – 20, 2013. It’ll be the place to be with the smells of the delicious BBQ cooking that will attract & make everyone hungry!

The 125th annual Country Fair features more family-friendly entertainment than ever before. It’s the Fraser Valley’s largest Midway with tons of rides and games for the whole family. Extreme Sports Zone, Outdoor Entertainment Stage and interactive Kidz Zone are back for 2013. As well, the Cloverdale Invitational Rodeo will feature Roughstock Rodeo Events (Bareback, Saddle Bronc & Bull Riding) and Ladies Barrel Racing.

Well Seasoned is expanding and share the love of food with Canadians everywhere with their new subscription service, The Missing Ingredient.

The Missing Ingredient is a monthly subscription service that delivers 4-5 tasty product samples to your doorstep in a cool box. The samples range from spices and seasonings to gadgets, oils & vinegars to sweets and treats. All of these products have been hand-picked by their culinary experts and they are confident you will enjoy them!

In each box you will find a feature recipe card to get you started on your monthly culinary adventure, a chef’s tip to help you master the tools and items you receive, and your Missing Ingredient food items and tools.

The Missing Ingredient is a great gift for the snowbird who has everything, the newlyweds stocking their kitchen, a great teacher or boss, or an isolated relative. It’s the gift that gives all year with annual, six-month, three-month and one-month subscription options.

Johnston’s does NOT use Ractopamine!

Ractopamin is a drug that is used as a feed additive in swine for lean growth promotion. It is banned in several countries around the world, but not in Canada. Johnston’s wants to clarify that we do NOT add Ractopamine to our hog feed.
