Grant and I had a great weekend in NY. The snowy drive was a bit stressful at times, but it was more than worth it. The celebration for the turkeys started off with an amazing VEGAN potluck at the Watkins Glen Community Center. There were about 150??? people there and everyone brought a vegan dish to share. The food was fabulous and it was great knowing anything I chose was animal free - yeah!
I also got to meet Colleen Patrick-Goudreau who has been an incredible inspiration to me during this past year as I've made my journey to being vegan. She signed her book, The Joy of Vegan Baking, for me and we had our picture taken. Interestingly, we also found a friend (actually she found us) who we hadn't seen in a couple years and we happily had dinner with her and her partner and were able to catch up.
After dinner and presentations, we headed to the Farm Sanctuary and spent the afternoon celebrating with the turkeys and visiting the other animals. It was in incredible event and hanging out with the animals was amazing. They are such wonderful creatures and we are so happy to spend time with them.
We took lots of photos of the animals and the farm. You can see all the photos on my flickr. Also, this time we remembered to take some video. So check out the videos below. Grant with the cow is typical Grant....
That sounds fun! That video of Grant is funny!
