Come visit Cru Cacao at Vegan Mania
OCT. 10th 2009
We will be there with your VEGAN chocolate fix!
Chicago has a vibrant and exciting vegan community. And now we're taking the opportunity to really show it off. EarthSave Chicago presents Chicago VeganMania: a joyous celebration of Chicago's vegan culture, commerce, community, and cuisine.
Chicago VeganMania gives you a chance to sample great vegan food from a dozen different restaurants, watch a wide array of live music and dance, attend workshops and presentations from some of the nation's leading vegan thinkers and doers, see the latest vegan fashion and the best vegan products and crafts, catch a vegan art show, learn Chicago's hidden vegetarian history, watch (or join) a spectacular children's procession, and so much more!
It's all here, and admission is free! Plus you'll get 5 free "Grub Stub" tickets redeemable at any food booth just for walking in the door. And come early - the first 100 people (age 16 & over) to show up will get a free swag bag loaded with wonderful vegan products.
