The event also offered some truly great speakers and presenters, who offered so much expertise and practical knowledge about healthy eating, healthy living, and compassionate living as well.”
The attendance at the Albany VegFest is expecting to reach over 2500 people in the 8th year. The event will take place on Saturday November 15, 2014 from 10am-5pm at the Polish Community Center 225 Washington Ave. Extension Albany, NY 12205.
