Our biggest upcoming event is surely our 8th Annual Vegan Chili Cook-Off on next Saturday, February 18. We hope you’ll join us and bring your friends. (Click the “share” button on the Facebook event page to invite them easily.)

The cook-off is totally free to attend, and you’ll get to spend the evening sampling delicious homemade vegan chili. It’s also great opportunity to get to know others in the community, and then there’s the fun of the competition. Who will win? Come and find out!

With the animals,

Laura Matanah
