BARCStoberfest

My little brother and Mandi are visiting this weekend, and we took Dakota to BARCStoberfest earlier today. There weren't a ton of things for dogs to do, but there were plenty of vendors selling dog toys, treats, clothing, etc. At DogFest last weekend, we found Ruby & Bailey, a dog treat company. We bought the fall mix bag (apple and pumpkin flavored treats). Dakota loved them, so we picked up another bag of treats from them today. My favorite part of the festival, though, was that BARCS had adoptable pets out and socializing with festival goers. I wish I could have adopted all of them; we met several sweet, friendly puppies! Dakota and I dressed up, too. Can you tell who we are?

The Compassion Over Killing table had vegan food samples!
NOMNOMNOM.

Vegan hot dogs, too?!?!

Best friends.

DogFest 2011

On Saturday, Dakota and I ventured out to the Baltimore Humane Society in Reisterstown for their annual DogFest. The event was wonderfully organized with helpful volunteers wherever you needed them (at the bathrooms, most importantly!). There were great vendors and advocacy groups, too! Someone's birthday is coming up, so I felt the need to buy everything...

She's brilliant.

Spoiled rotten.

Maybe this will last longer than a week.

If you missed DogFest but want to get out with your puppy, don't forget about BARCStoberfest this Saturday!

October Events!

Hey guys! October has lots of exciting events for Baltimore, so I wanted to share with y'all!

I sat down to write out my October schedule, and the next three weeks will be insanity in terms of school work, but the current plan is to somehow make it to all of these events. Hope you're able to come out to some of them, too!

Upcoming Events!

Hey yall! In the latter half of this month, there are some veg events happening around Baltimore. I just want to spread the word!

Crazy Sexy Diet Book Tour

Author of Crazy Sexy Diet and cover girl of the most recent VegNews Kris Carr will be at Breath Books for part of her month-long book tour. I've yet to read her book, but her feature in VegNews is nothing short of inspiring!

Animal Awareness Project Benefit
Johnny Rad's Pizzeria Tavern, Fells Point

The Animal Awareness Project and Johnny Rad's are joining up for a vegan benefit to raise money for the AAP, which strives to end animal cruelty. Johnny Rad's has several vegan items on their menu, and though I've never been, I've heard lots of good things about it! I'll be there for this event, and hope you will be, too!


Sunday January 30, 7PM - 9PM
A Night of Classical Music and Fine Wine & Food
An die Musik Live!

Peabody-trained violinist Sarah Lowenstein and Open the Cages Alliance are teaming up for an OTCA benefit. The event will include vegan hors d'oeuvres and wine and a performance by Sarah and her pianist. Classical music and vegan food? I'm sold.
