Wuxly Movement

Wuxly MovementWe’re so happy Wuxly Movement is returning to VegFest!  They’ll be bringing fall and winter coats for sale.

Wuxly Movement is an ethical lifestyle brand that designs and manufactures Canadian-made outerwear. Born from a love of wildlife and a vision of warm, animal-free alternatives, Wuxly does all this while spearheading a progressive Movement.

The Herbivore Clothing Company

We are extremely excited to announce that the Herbivore Clothing Company has offered to donate in-kind to the Rochester VegFest this year!  We look forward to having them involved with us!

The Herbivore Clothing Company approach has always been to show veganism as a positive choice that gives you back so much more than you give up.  As they say, “Compassion Is Invincible!”

Speciesism Recap

Our Dinner and a Movie event Friday night was a huge success!  Fifty-five people came out for Greek spreads and bread dip (thanks for the donation, Voula!), Buddha Bowls from Red Fern, and cupcakes from Happy Cakes, followed by a showing of Speciesism: The Movie, and then a talk by its director Mark Devries.  Thank you to everyone who attended, everyone who bid in the silent auction, and to the item donors.  Thank you to Cam F. Awesome for MC-ing and Mark Devries for bringing his film and speaking.  We were glad other VegFest speakers Mike Stura, Kerry Graff, Ted Barnett, and Jo-Anne MacArthur could attend.

Thank you to Jack & Meg for donating two tickets. Thank you to organizers and everyone who helped out or brought stuff either to use, eat, or donate: Mary, Bubbie, Deb, Kim, Darren, Mike, Leanne, Robyn, Varun, Andy, Michael, Rosemary, and Ted. People helped in so many big and little ways I can’t possibly list everything everyone did.
