Adera Surrey SPCA Fundraising Event and Contest

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:46:11 +0000

On Sunday, February 12, local homebuilder Adera welcomes dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a pose for local photographer Ashleigh Wells, in exchange for a donation to the BC SPCA.

Pets and their owners will receive a fun Valentine-themed photo of their pet to take home. In celebration of Adera’s new South Surrey residential project, Breeze, all donations from the February 12 fundraising event will go to the Surrey branch of the BC SPCA. Adera will match all donations to the cause – now that’s what we like to hear!

The Surrey branch of the BC SPCA is especially in need of support after an outbreak closed the facility for an extended period in 2011. The branch is now re-opened but still faces a backlog of adoptable pets from the 2011 outbreak.

The event takes place from 12PM – 3PM on Sunday, February 12, 2012 at the Breeze Sales Centre, located at #20-2215 160th Street, Surrey (at 24th Avenue, Grandview Corners).

Ashleigh Wells has generously offered a great prize pack to one of FVP’s pet-loving readers. Please leave a note below to be entered to win a pet photo session plus 3 prints from Ashleigh. Winner will be announced February 10, 2012.

Toy Traders – Pulse Spotlight – 12.11.11

Chrissy Lambert — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 07:21:51 +0000

Congratulations to our two winners! This contest is now closed.

As a kid, the thought of having your own toy store meant freedom to play with any and every toy you could imagine, all day long. That dream, in the mind of just about any kid, would be pure bliss. Imagine the fun and thrill of having every toy you could ever want, within reach, at any given time. While there may only be a few of us who turned that dream into reality, Matthew Purdy, the Owner of Toy Traders in Langley, is one of them.

This Yukon born man moved to BC to attend high school in Abbotsford and has been in business in Langley since 1995. What started mainly as a toy trading business has now evolved into BC’s largest independent toy store. As a former toy collector himself, Matthew is a great example of someone who enjoys what he does and who turned his passion for toys into a successful business.

The store is composed of three major elements and caters to a wide range of customer, from the wide-eyed little ones who go crazy with excitement to the not-so-little ones who still delight in nostalgic toys and collectible items. Regardless of which one you are, it’s a magical place to be.

The first element of the store is it’s Trade Centre, which accepts toys and collectibles from customers. Your trade-ins are valuated while you wait. The staff in the Trade Centre are knowledgeable on the current toy markets as well as recalls issued and will give you a fair value based on the toy’s condition and re-sell value. Any amounts you earn for the trade-in is provided to you in Trader Bucks, which never expire and are tax-free. They can be used on any item in the store, new or used (used items will have a green price sticker on them).

The second element of the store is its brand new toy section, which comprises 80% of the store. Toy Traders carries brands such as Lego and Playmobil, Melissa & Doug and Calico Critters, and many, many more. They also carry the entire line of Schleich’s hand-painted animals and Smurfs and boasts popular items such as Angry Birds and Vamplets.

The last element of the store is for the collectors. Collectible items, from new to nostalgic, are widespread from GI Joe to Transformers, DC and Marvel Comics, as well as movie collectibles for Star Wars, Terminator and more. If you’re a collector and you haven’t been to Toy Traders yet, you are missing out! They are Canada’s largest collectible store.

If the toy selection isn’t enough to intrigue you, you will be blown away by the displays in and around the store. These dioramas (or models representing a scene with 3-D characters) are detailed, full scale and intensely creative. From life size figures to re-enacted scenes from popular cartoons and movies, you’ll need to take your time to take it all in. And guess who’s responsible for these? Not a movie production crew. Matthew and his staff.

Toy Traders does their “leg work” in checking other flyer and sale prices, and displays comparative pricing on their shelves. They have weekly specials and new items coming in often, which you can learn of through their newsletter. Their well-informed staff take pride in their work, are great with kids and look forward to making your visit an enjoyable one. Just prepare yourself. When you walk in, someone will go bananas with delight, and it might not be your kids.

Toy Traders is gifting two of our readers $50 Trader Bucks each! Please leave a note below to be entered to win. Winners will be chosen at random on December 16, 2011.

For an extra chance to win, please post the following on Twitter: “I entered to win $50 to @toytraders from @FVPulse – you should enter, too! http://ow.ly/7W8MZ”
