CHILLIWACK — When a charter bus caught fire near 44408 Vedder Mountain Road back on June 8, its flames spread to a nearby building and destroyed a custom car shop owned by Dave and Lisa Bisschop.

Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry, a Yarrow-based farm operation that produces and retails duck, chicken and other poultry products, is trying to help the Bisschop family recover from their significant losses with a special car show and BBQ on Saturday, July 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 4540 Simmons Road in Yarrow.

The car show itself is free for spectators and there will be plenty of opportunities for customers and supporters to donate.

“Come out to Chilliwack for our free car show – with opportunities to donate of course!” Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry wrote on Facebook. “Our friends down the road lost their custom car shop in a fire, and we’d like to gather this community together to show them with our love and (financial) support.”

There will be classic cars, BBQ, burgers, and a community that cares at the event. Even if you’re not local, or don’t know Dave and Lisa Bisschop who run the custom car shop, residents are 100 per cent welcome and encouraged to come.

There will be one food truck at the event, in addition to Fraser Valley Special Poultry barbecuing that day. There will also be live music to enjoy.

To date, 35 vehicles are registered for the classic show and there’s room for up to 120 cars to park on the grass. Classic car owners are asked to email karen.ketting-olivier@fvsp.ca to register their vehicles.
