Come join us for one of our most popular summer events!
 
Bring a vegan dish, try delicious vegan foods and get ideas for new
recipes.  
 
Not sure just what to bring?  Fruit or tossed salad, steamed vegetables,
or vegan baked goods from a natural foods store or bakery are all great
options. We'll have the barbeque lit for making vegan s'mores and roasting
vegan marshmallows (and in case you bring veggie burgers or veggie dogs).
Paper plates, plastic ware, and drinking water will be provided. All are
welcome to attend.
 
Admission: Bring a vegan dish sized for 8 servings (a vegan dish is made
with no animal products, meaning no meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs,
butter, or honey).
