Hey Veg-heads, VegFest is back! For all you vegans, vegetarians, and people who just like eating healthy, Ferndale has something to offer you, again. However, if you're a basketball fan, too, John Salley will be on hand as a speaker. He won't be talking basketball though. The VegFest will be held April 18.
Excerpt:
Back this year by popular demand, after drawing a record-breaking crowd
of nearly 2,000 to last year's VegFest, is former Piston and TV
personality John Salley ("Best Damn Sports Show Period").
Like
Freedman, he is vegan -- meaning he neither eats nor uses any animal
products -- and he passionately believes that his diet choice improved
his game and his life.
Attendees can enjoy tasty vegan cuisine
from two dozen local restaurants, national brand samples, cooking and
raw-food demonstrations, door prizes, children's activities and several
lectures and presentations.
In addition to Freedman at 1 p.m. and
Salley at 2 p.m., speakers throughout the day include Dr. Joel Kahn,
medical director of cardiac rehabilitation at Beaumont Hospital;
diabetes specialist Caroline Trapp; environmentalist Troy Farwell,
executive director of Upland Hills Ecological Awareness Center; raw
foods educator Andrea McNinch, founder of Regeneration Raw; Dorothy
Davies, co-founder of SASHA Farm; VegMichigan president Harry Pianko;
and a panel of vegan and vegetarian adults and children who will discuss "Going Veg for Dummies."
