7/19 Low Down on the Hoe Down
I just found out about Farm Sanctuary’s Country Hoe Down and am seething with envy for all that can attend. Sadly, it is on the same day as Chloe’s fifth birthday party. The date is fast approaching, but who am I to plan your weekends?? Perhaps you are free and can make it work. Vegan roadtrip. If you are unable to make it this year, put it on your calendar for next and plan to see me there whooping it up.
The following info and images are from their site: www.FarmSanctuary.org
Join us on August 3 and 4 at Farm Sanctuary’s New York Shelter in Watkins Glen for our annual Country Hoe Down — an exciting weekend filled with expert presentations, great vegan food, quality time with our farm animal residents, activist workshops, cooking demonstration, barn dancing, camping, and more!
Here is a link to the menu for the weekend. It will make any vegan cowboy wannabe swing their partner round and round.
Here is the line up of speakers:
- Gene Baur, Farm Sanctuary’s president and co-founder and author of Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food
- Cody Carlson, former undercover investigator for Mercy for Animals and the Humane Society of the United States
- Nick Cooney, Farm Sanctuary’s Compassionate Communities Campaign manager and author of Change of Heart: What Psychology Can Teach Us About Spreading Social Change
- Melissa Costello, author of The Karma Chow Ultimate Cookbook: 125+ Plant-Based Vegan Recipes for a Fit, Happy, Healthy You
- Susie Coston, Farm Sanctuary’s National Shelter Director
- Erica Meier, executive director of Compassion Over Killing
All of this and you get to camp on the sanctuary grounds and dance. Unbelievable. If you have been. plan to go or are just dreaming about it….. send me a comment and lets talk about it.
Have a delicious weekend.
