Shrimp Scampi
A guilty pleasure but a wonderful one! We include pasta with
this meal. This is a rich shrimp meal that is really best enjoyed with a nice
glass of white.
C$
30.00
Tangy Mango Salsa Salmon
This is a sensational salmon dish that our customers beg us to bring back. One large
salmon steak cooked with a sweet tangy salsa cooked on top, the salmon absorbs
the salsa flavor making it flavorful to the last bite.
C$

Better Beer Butter Burgers
Yummmy! No need for ketchup or mustard. These burgers are filled with our gourmet secret
seasonings. People will be begging you for the recipe. We include the buns for
this recipe.
C$
30.00
Cranberry Balsamic Pork Tenderloin
This is one of those meals that make you look like a gourmet, so it’s a great one to
save for when your mother in-law is coming for dinner. It is also a very quick
cook meal, only taking 30 minutes from start to the first bite.
C$
30.00
FTF Pork Chops
Great for the bbq. Nothing but a perfect combination of
seasonings in this pork chop meal.

provide.
C$

Lazy Mans Lasagna
We prepare our lasagna with turkey instead of beef. LML is a
huge hit with all our younger customers. A full meal that really only needs a
warmed garlic toast to compliment it.

Coconut and Red Pepper Curry Chicken
Shredded coconut, red pepper, chicken and a sweet curry mix.
Serve this over the rice we provide with the meal.

the rice we provide.
C$

something you cannot understand until you have enjoyed it for
yourself.

SILENT AUCTION ITEM: FIREFIGHTER FOR A DAY
Again this year The Red Deer Firefighter's Children's Charity is donating another FireOps Package. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience what our firefighters go through to keep us safe. They will tailor the package for a full day of what you want to do such as:
Putting out live fires in the burntower:
Use the Jaws of Life and cut apart some cars with their rescue equipment:
Ride up 132 Feet up in the Ariel Truck:
They will light a car (or two) on fire for you to put out:
and you can also challenge their NRAT physical test if you want!
The firefighters have been an amazing support to our foundation and of course to Lexx. We actually met Kyle (Lexx's personal firefighter as we call him) on a transport when Lexx needed a critical ride to the Calgary Children's Hospital. He's the one that organizes this whole Firefighter for a Day. Thanks Kyle!
SILENT AUCTION ITEM: PRS SE SINGLE CUT CHERRY SUNBURST ELECTRIC GUITAR
Donated by our great friends at THE SOUNDHOUSE GUITAR AND RECORD SHOP, this PAUL REED SMITH electric guitar is regarded to be in the same category as FENDER and GIBSON guitars and its MSRP is $954.00 US.
