This next month is going to be Twin Cities Veg Fest all the time! We’ve got tons of ways for you to get involved and help out with preparing for the upcoming festival.
One big thing we need help with (that also includes an opportunity to share some delish vegan food!) is leaflet stuffing. Our October Potluck: Vegan Food and Leaflet Stuffing is coming up on Sunday, October 9 at the CAA Community Space. Leaflet stuffing is super easy and fun. If you don’t believe me, see here and behold!
Join us for that and sign up for some other stuff too. Let’s make this year’s Twin Cities Veg Fest truly great!
Best wishes,
Justin Leaf, Communications & Events Coordinator
