What better time to start putting together a recap about a visit to the Better Living Home and Garden Show than a Boltbus with shaky but semi-reliant WiFi out-of-town?

Portland VegFest Anticipation, 2010 edition

Posted on September 17, 2010 by jess sconé • 4 Comments

There is no doubt that Northwest Veg’s VegFest gets better every single year. I remember the first one I volunteered at, which I think was either the 1st or 2nd annual event, at the Friends Meeting House in 2005.
