Asheville VegFest this August
March 30th, 2011

There is no shortage of festivals in Asheville, celebrating music, art, health, the environment, and/or just the wonderfully freaky nature of Asheville. Now, for the first time, we’ll be having our very own VegFest, celebrating all things vegan and animal-friendly.
Putting something this big together takes a lot of work and of course some money. Here’s the email (slightly abridged) that went out through The Asheville Vegetarians about this event:
As you know, The Asheville Vegetarians and Goat Mountain Ranch Sanctuary are planning the first ever Asheville VegFest (Sunday, August 7th). WE NEED YOUR HELP!! We’ll be sending out a volunteer form soon but in the meantime, please note that our current estimates indicate that the festival is going to cost us nearly 7K (permits, insurance, porta potties, security, marketing materials, advertising and on and on…..). We are hopeful that rental fees from vendors and donations from sponsors will cover much of this but we do expect a shortfall. To that end we have applied for a www.vegfund.org grant and are in contact with other organizations to whom we will apply for grant money. WE do need YOUR donations though! ….
For any donation above $20, you will receive a vegdiscount card which is good for a year of many discounts around town at various restaurants, service providers, retailers et cetera.
Asheville Vegfest is a great opportunity to “vegucate” and “vegutain” folks near and wide so please consider participating in any way you can but .. if you have some extra funds, they’ll go a long way in helping us pull this off!
All donations are tax deductible., checks should be written out to Goat Mountain Ranch Sanctuary and sent to:
Goat Mountain Ranch Sanctuary
1601 Newfound Rd
Leicester 28748Alternatively, you can donate via paypal via the Goat Mountain website: http://www.goatmountainsanctuary.org/about.html Please specify that donations are for Vegfest (donors to VegFest will receive a vegdiscount card but not a Tshirt from Goat Mountain– separate donations earmarked for Goat Mountain of $17 or more will get you one of their cool T-Shirts).

Wish I was in Asheville – looks like an awesome festival! Ever heard of the festival out in Phucket, Thailand?

What a great idea! Are you and John part of the planning/creative force behind this?
April 10th, 2011 at 2:28 pm
I have never heard of the festival in Thailand, but I know that many cities all over the world have similar Veg Fests.
John and I are not organizers of this event. Just enthusiastic supporters.

Great site you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any
community forums that cover the same topics talked about in this
article? I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get responses from other experienced individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks!

Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some
advice from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog?
I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.
I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where
to start. Do you have any points or suggestions? With thanks

Hey! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone 13. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share.
