You probably know that Rochester Vegfest is a project of two local organizations, Animal Rights Rochester and the Rochester Area Vegan Society.  But did you know they both have big anniversaries this year?

ARRoc was formed as “Animal Rights Advocates of Upstate, NY” (ARAUNY) by a small group of upstanders in 1989! Another group was busy forming the “Rochester Area Vegetarian Society” that same year. New names, same great organizations. We’re both 30!
