Success! We now have our wide-angle crowd shots of not only the parade but the post-parade rally & expo in Union Square Park. We had about 700 marchers (we counted them with a hand-held clicker). But once we reached the park, our numbers easily grew to a thousand. In the park, we had 40 hand-picked exhibitors, over a dozen inspiring speakers from a wide constituency of veg-adherence, free vegan food, and a super-fun costume contest with 18 prizes donated from a healthy bevy of veggie businesses.

Documenting Veggie Pride Parade, NYC, 2009. Your help needed
Our parade was an incredible success! We had 38 exhibitors, over a dozen speakers (including NYC mayoral candidate Tony Avella), 7 booths with free vegan food, live music from vegan singer/songwriter Cheryl Hill, and an incredible costume contest award ceremony!Now we need to go about the task of documenting the day.
We're adding image-set links to our images page; and we're tracking down media stories and blog posts.
Report in to the Veggie Pride Parade planning committee with your link sitings of interest. We will post to our Web site. Contact, Pamela at info@vivavegie.org
