You’re hearing it here first! We’re announcing our lineup of illustrious chefs who will show off their compassionate cookery at the fourth annual Twin Cities Veg Fest on November 1. Get ready to learn how to make some mouthwatering plant-based cuisine. Samples included!
We added cooking demos to the festival activities last year, and they were a big hit with standing-room only audiences. This year, we’re moving the demos into a 400-seat theater, which will certainly free up some space in other areas of Coffman Memorial Union.
Here’s the lineup:
- Mistress Ginger, author of Mistress Ginger Cooks!: Everyday Vegan Food for Everyone
- Ali Glad
- Rachel Sandstrom
- Betsy Born of Seymour Munchmore’s
We’re nearing the end of our crowdsourcing campaign to raise funds for Twin Cities Veg Fest. Thanks to all of you who have contributed through our online campaign and to those of you who have sent donations by check through the mail. With all of these donations we’re getting closer to reaching our goal. Thank you for that!
You still have through Monday, August 24 to contribute. Donations of any amount are appreciated and help us to make the festival free for anyone to attend. As an extra incentive, we have $500 worth of matching funds committed once we reach $3,500, which will take us to a total of $4,000! Please give today and be a part of the team that makes Twin Cities Veg Fest a powerful tool for outreach and a fun celebration for all.
One more note: we have two special events coming up in the next week, and I hope you will take part in one or both. First, on this Thursday, August 20, we’re hosting another edition of Tea, Cookies, and Conversation. This one features a discussion about social justice intersections, exploring how we can be better animal advocates by making connections with other movements for liberation. Then, on Saturday, August 22, we’ve got a fun Farm-to-Table Vegan Potluck at the home of Jennifer Swick in Roseville. Join us for this community event and make good use of that amazing summer harvest.
For the animals,
