Many of you remember that last year at this time we posted an
invitation to ride with us to Toronto to attend the Toronto
Vegetarian Food Fair, an annual event that attracts about
50,000 - 100,000 persons annually.
Well, several MIT people attended, and the result was the
Boston Vegetarian Food Festival, held at MIT.
That event will be held again, but some of you might wish
to travel to Toronto to see this great event in all its glory,
the event that inspired the BVFF, and the three-day event
that it is.
During the past ten years the local public transportation
system has publicized the Vegetarian Food Fair, and
public officials have praised it.
It brings lots of people into Toronto, and Canadians flock
from miles around to see this exposition of vegetarian living.
Tents outdoors, booths indoors in a fair format,
a food tent with many vendors, and the other arrangements
by the Harbourfront (as they call the area) make this like
a vegetarian version of a county fair - and the food is cheap.
With the exchange rate at 75 cents US to $1.00 Canada,
you can easily purchase much more when you travel in Canada.
There will be people driving up to Toronto, and you need to
speak up if you want to ride with us.
Drivers are urged also to volunteer their cars, if you could drive.
Best to call me ASAP if you have any interest in this at all.
