Veggie Pride Parade NYC 2010 a roaring success

The Third Annual Veggie Pride Parade NYC 2010 was a rip-roaring success. Nearly a thousand people marched in the streets of Greenwich Village on May 16, 2010, for compassion, for environmental sanity, and for health awareness. Our numbers easily swelled to 1,500 once we reached Union Square Park (north end), the end-point for the parade and location of the vegan-happy rally & expo. There, costume-wearing vegan-proud individuals were treated to a dozen inspiring speeches, 38 noncommercial exhibitors, cart-loads of free vegan food, live entertainment, as well as heartfelt exhortations from people at the soapbox testimonial station. Click HERE to go to the Veggie Pride Parade Web site, where you can view images, videos, a listing of media posts, and lots lots more. Bookmark the site, because we plan to post huge amounts of content over the weeks to come.

Fabulous program guide 2010 available online!

The fabulous program guide for the upcoming 2010 Veggie Pride Parade NYC is available online! Click HERE to download a PDF (3.2 mb). Everything's there: A list of speakers, exhibitors, entertainers, donors of cash, food, and prizes, the latter for the costume contest. There are two articles, a list of volunteers, and, of course, the program of events! Oh, and many many ads from the generous sponsors of the Veggie Pride Parade. This is not to be missed.
Five thousand printed program guides are due to arrive in our office at One Union Square West, #512, NYC 10003 on Friday, April 30. Volunteers are encouraged to pick up handfuls (and even shopping bags full) of guides to distribute at their favorite veggie haunts (restaurants & health-food stores, mostly). Call 212-242-0011 for more information on how you can help in this very important way to get the word out about our wonderful parade and post-parade rally & expo. Peas & luv, Pamela R.
