Hello Veganwithavengence! Thank you for trying GreenFare... I did start the Fairfax Veg Fest last year, which was a huge effort and thanks to a lot of work, it was a very successful event. The venue where it was hosted had say over who was able to attend and unfortunately a few groups were not approved. I made personal donations to those not attending and was very sorry that this happened. Sometimes it takes baby steps to make progress. We had almost 5k attendees our first year and everyone had a great time. We're doing it again this year on April 19th and have a great lineup of health and animal group speakers that are amazing. I hope that it will change more minds to the benefits of a plant based lifestyle. I'm glad that you like the animal pictures!
