And don’t worry, you’re welcome to attend even if you make a face when you see brussel sprouts on your plate. “You do not have to be a vegetarian to come”, says SFVS President Dixie Mahy. “We want everyone to come and try our delicious food, learn about vegetarianism and have a good time.”
There will also be a $20 vegan dinner or a raw dinner for $25 on Saturday night at 6:45pm. What a perfect combination – meet your love at the Vegan Speed Dating at 5:15pm and them grab a quick bite to get to know each other. Veggie love is in da house!
