Passing on info about this event from the original page, as follows:
On Saturday, August 21st, we are inviting anyone interested in becoming vegetarian/vegan to come to Animal Acres. There will be a tour where you get to meet the cows, chickens, pigs, and goats, vegan food for everyone, and a panel of speakers. This is a great event to invite your friends to so they can learn about all the benefits of becoming veg, and most importantly, the animals' lives they will be saving every day through this choice. I would like for those of us who are veg to bring non-veg people to this event. This event is especially valuable for kids and young adults who love animals. Please RSVP if you are attending, along with the number of people you are bringing, if you are bringing guests.

These field trips to Animal Acres will be ongoing, so I'd love for everyone to come to this one and then you can decide how you can best help on future field trips.
For those of you who don't know about VegFund, it is an amazing organization that helps promote veganism by reimbursing activists for food costs when you do vegan feed-ins and vegan outreach events.
