Treasure Discovered in South Cowichan

ARRRR ME HEARTIES�.. the South Cowichan Chamber of Commerce �Culinary Treasure Hunt� is not like just any other day of swilling ale and chasing wenches. Saturday May 14th will be a memory building sensory cornucopia of fun and frivolity. Only one hundred registered Hunters will receive a treasure map leading to a variety of different farms, wineries, restaurants and food producers where they can visit with the owners, sample their wares, gather their precious nuggets and whatever other bounty they choose.

The day will begin at Mill Bay Centre where registered hunters will pick up their basket and map and head off on a culinary adventure in the uncharted foodie Mecca of South Cowichan. Find those hidden culinary treasure samples, gather information on locally grown and produced foods, hold on to that valuable map and use it to stock your pantries with newly discovered local delights.

The day will culminate at Cobble Hill Fair Grounds where the Shawnigan Cobble Hill Farmers Institute & Agricultural Society will be holding the Culinary Treasure Hunters Picnic & BBQ. There will be a draw from the one hundred tickets for great prizes such as a Freezer of Local Food, a BBQ, dinners, day spa treatments and lots more. This event will be a celebration of the agricultural and culinary community and an opportunity for Hunters to share their stories. It will be open to the public for a fee at the gate.

This is the first annual event to raise funds for a new Visitor Centre in South Cowichan so mateys, sound the horn from the hill top to call all culinary treasure hunters to their�. steeds�.ships�.oh whatever mode of transportation you like, and join in the fun. These tickets will be hot so get yours fast!
