The wording has changed slightly over the last 114 years, but the commitment to promote and educate the public about the importance of agriculture in our daily lives is just as strong now as it was then. The Maple Ridge / Pitt Meadows Agricultural Association has worked hard to develop a National and Provincial award winning, family oriented, and agriculturally educational annual event and is recognized as “one of the best”. This event is named “Maple Ridge - Pitt Meadows COUNTRYFEST” and is held annually in July. This year’s dates are July 25th & 26th, and for the 8th FREE gate to give all families year, will feature a FR the opportunity to attend. atte

The Perfect Summer Tea Party
Buttermilk Scones with Fruit Compote 0DNHV ‡ 3UHS WLPH PLQV ‡ &RRNLQJ WLPH PLQV ‡ Serves: 6
Ingredients Scones
Compote
3.5 cups self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting Frozen fruit of choice – summer fruit mix is ï WVS VDOW ‡ FXS FROG EXWWHU GLFHG JRRG VRXU FKHUULHV DUH IDQWDVWLF 3/4 cup extra fine sugar Sugar to taste Handful of raisins or sultanas (optional) PO SRW EXWWHUPLON ‡ WVS YDQLOOD H[WUDFW ‡ 6SODVK RI PLON
Method Heat oven to 400/425 F fan/gas 7. Sift the flour and salt together. Rub in the butter until the mixture is like fine crumbs. Stir in the sugar and raisins or sultanas if using. Gently warm the buttermilk (don’t throw away the pot) and vanilla in a microwave or pan. Using your largest bowl, quickly tip in some of the flour mix, followed by some of the buttermilk mix, repeating until everything is in the bowl. Use a knife to quickly mix together to form a dough - don’t over-mix it. Tip onto a floured surface and lightly bring together with your hands a couple of times. Press out gently to about 1 1/2 inch thick and stamp out rounds with a 2 1/2 inch cutter. Re-shape trimmings, until all the dough is used. Place scones evenly on to a lightly floured baking sheet or two. Add a splash of milk into the buttermilk pot, and then use to glaze the top of each scone. Bake for 10-12 mins until golden and well risen.
To Make The Fruit Compote: Place as much of the frozen fruit as you need in the saucepan, on a gentle heat on the hob on top of your cooker. Simmer the fruit in the saucepan on the hob until the fruit starts to soften; stir gently now and again just enough so that the fruit does not stick to the pan; do not allow it to burn. Now add sugar to taste - not too much at first. Taste the fruit as you add the sugar so that you do not make it too sweet or leave it too tart. Take care not to burn yourself when testing it! Fruit and sugar get very hot. Once the fruit has softened, but before it turns to a pulp or goes too mushy, it is ready and you should remove it from the heat to cool. It keeps for 2-3 days in the fridge.

What’s On!
Thank You!
Through the printed magazine, and via its online events calendar, I appreciate the opportunities given to What’s On! Ridge Meadows to support the local non-profit and not-for-profit organizations. These groups make the communities of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows the wonderful cities they are. I appreciate all the Thank You notes received and want to share these accolades and recognition with all of the magazine’s advertisers. It’s through the on-going support from local businesses that our community groups are able to promote their events in the magazine. Thank you advertisers! You are all sincerely appreciated.
Caroline
“Dear Caroline, The Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association wants to personally thank you for all the support and especially personal care the What’s On Ridge Meadows Magazine has shown our organization. The amount of quality coverage and promotion you have given us, over and over again, many times FREE of charge, is just unbelievable.
“Lantern Fest owes much of its success in attracting an audience to What’s On! Ridge Meadows and the tremendous coverage we have received over the past two or three years. The full colour layout really reaches people. Thank you so much, Caroline!”
We would have never been able, as a non-profit association, to pay for all the promotional articles, pictures, ads, calendar entries, etc. A great big THANK YOU from all of us at the DMRBIA. Keep up the good work! The Community “LOVES” What’s On! Ridge Meadows. Kind regards, Ineke Boekhorst”

We have had so many comments over the last few years of “I saw you in What’s On”. I am always so happy with the service and amazing dedication that Caroline possesses. I sincerely recommend What’s On! Ridge Meadows magazine to anyone looking for an effective advertising venue.“ Wendy Upton | Sales Consultant Chartwell Willow Retirement Community

derHeart KinMontessori KinderHeart Montessori is currently registering for preschool at Edith McDermott Elementary in Pitt Meadows for September 2015.
We offer an authentic Montessori environment with trained Montessori teachers. Montessori education is a very real, organic way of showing your child respect. Maria Montessori encouraged adults to recognize and respect the child’s need for truth and reality. She emphasized providing real, child-sized tools to acknowledge and support the child’s need for work which develops order, concentration, coordination, and independence.
