VegFest 2011

Hubby and I went to VegFest this afternoon. I was surprised at how many vendors were there, and how many visitors. According to the local paper, estimated attendance for the day was 6,000 people.

The only things we bought were a brownie and a whoopie pie from Vegan Treats, and two honeycrisp apples. There were a few vendors we would have liked to have seen, but the crowd made it difficult to get close to things and the humidity was giving me a headache.

Half of the festival was the food court and various food sellers, while the rest was split between animal-related groups, fitness, jewelry and other health-related participants. Hopefully there will be a VegFest again in 2012. I'm not a vegetarian, but I like attending community activities like this.
