A Grab-bag of Worcester’s Veg News

This post is going to be a little schizophrenic.

There are a few interesting stories that happened in the past few days of Worcester’s continually blossoming vegetarian renaissance. Let’s do a brief overview of them all:
- Today Veggie Corner received some good coverage from the Telegram & Gazette: “Vegan cafe offers meals for a penny“
- Photos from last weekend’s “feed-in” at the McDonalds on Main Street are now online. It was inspiring to have two groups of neighborhood kids join in our demonstration, holding signs and giving out flyers. It’s a total bummer that we didn’t get any photos with our big banner. The banner read: “Try some yummy FREE VEGAN FOOD, VegWorcester.com”. It was he center-piece of our feed-in until it fell apart. It was just paper and the wind tore it apart. We’ll definitely have a sturdy vinyl or cloth banner for our next feed-in.
- Buddha Hut’s October buffet/fundraiser was a huge success. The food was wonderful (as always) and Buddha Hut raised a couple hundred dollars for VegWorcester. Heads up: looks like Buddha Hut will be holding the buffet/fundraisers monthly on the second Saturday. That means the November buffet is on Saturday, Nov 14 and in December it is on Saturday the 12th. Sweet! (Thanks Annie for drawing the flyer.)
- I’ve recently been posting about the demonstrations that have been happening at the DCU center. Ringling Brothers has now left town, so the protests are over. Charlene posted some good photos from the Thursday demonstration, and there some photos from Saturday’s big demonstration were just uploaded to the VegWorcester flickr page. Saturday was a big success. With somewhere around 35 to 40 people out there holding signs and giving out flyers, I would be surprised to hear that someone got into the show without seeing a sign or getting a brochure about Ringling’s long history of animal mistreatment.
Let’s keep this party going.
