Thanksgiving with the Turkeys

Last April we went to the Poplar Springs Animal Sanctuary to visit the animals and learn more about what they do there.  Check the April/May posts for details on that trip.  I also ran in their "Run for the Animals" and a good time was had by all.  Now that it is almost Thanksgiving, we are putting November 20th on our calendars because it is the annual Thanksgiving with the Turkeys event at Poplar Springs.  It is a GIGANTIC VEGAN POTLUCK.  Yes, folks, I said a GIGANTIC VEGAN POTLUCK!!!  That is exciting, because we love to eat.  Come dine with the animals instead of on them!  I am also excited because it is a way for vegans from Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania to get together and interact.  I always love to meet other vegans because we are such a happy bunch of people.  AND my kids love running around the sanctuary which is basically a farm where the animals never die.  They ask that everyone bring a VEGAN dish that will serve 8 people and a $10.00 donation is suggested to help offset the cost of care for the animals.  Find out more at http://www.animalsanctuary.org/events/index.html.
