Description
The Springfield Chamber of Commerce (SCC) is excited to announce the first annual Perogy-Fest!
Springfield is blessed to be home of a strong vibrant Ukrainian-Canadian community. We have the Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Greek Catholic church and spectacular Grotto in Cooks Creek. The Ukrainian National Cemetery on Lorne Hill Rd. There are two performing Ukrainian dance ensembles, Selo and Mohutniy. Our school division offers Ukrainian Bilingual Programs to continue the teachings of Ukrainian traditions and heritage.
Chances are, if you live here, you have Ukrainian descent and if you don’t, you probably have connections with someone that does. At the very least, you’ve tasted the wonderous Ukrainian dish… the perogy! After all, we’re also home of Hazelridge the Perogy Capital of Canada.
Participating local restaurateurs, caterers, specialty food creators and community kitchens in the RM of Springfield will create a special perogy offer and you will get to vote for your favourite perogy dish starting April 1st through to the 18th.
Winners will be announced on April 25th.
Participants will donate 10% of net proceeds to the Springfield Chamber of Commerce and we’ll forward the donation to the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal (Canadian Red Cross).
Full donation amount will be announced on our website in mid-May 2022.
