Description

The Maple Lodge Farms Special Event Team is taking a little road trip this summer...make that a BIG road trip...about 7,000 kilometres wide of a road trip to be exact. From July 4 to August 3 2010, Grant, Kim, Cassandra, Natalie, Mike and Josh - 6 wicked young people from the GTA - will be hitting all the major cities across Canada, hosting free BBQs at grocery stores and head offices that Maple Lodge is in partnerships with. Traveling in a 70 foot tractor trailer from hotel to hotel, they're on a mission to get the nation hooked on chicken. So stop by this blog daily to see where they are, what they're up to, and maybe YOU will start craving an Ultimate Chicken Dog too.

Event 1 - Check.

It's 7:00 Saskatoon time and we recently returned to our home-for-four-days-away-from-home from event number one!



We parked the Big Rig this morning outside the entrance of Greystone Co-op and gave customers the choice between a Big Original chicken dog, an Original chicken dog, or a Thai chicken deli wrap. Made by the masters of sandwich artistry, Natalie Marinucci and Cassandra Stokes, the wraps turned out to be the most popular item on the menu!



...when they were not eaten by Joshua.



But no matter what they sampled, everyone we served was impressed that we're putting on these free promotional BBQ's across Canada.

"Now that's what I call a summer job!" said one guy while squeezing mustard onto his Big Original.

Our customers asked us where we've been and where we're headed, and also, "Where we are tomorrow?!"

Sorry Edmonton, but we may be a little late. It seems Saskatoon likes us too much!





...as do the executives that came by today ;)



We think we served only about 400 people today, but we recieved $309.79 donation money for Maple Lodge Farms' charities! And! The rain held off.

Until now that is. It's actually HAILING out!! And I hear it's been upwards of 40 degrees in Toronto?! Where the A/C at?

Another grocery store tomorrow morning! I'll keep ya posted with a post.

Word.
