VegFest 2014

Vegans, Vegetarians and all Veg Heads united at this celebration of veg friendly foods and healthy living!
This year’s VegFest was held at the new Red Lion (formerly Radisson) in a few opened banquet rooms across from the beautiful water, including water fountain. The outdoor seating patio was a lovely place to sit out with a tasty vegan bite and enjoy the wonderful summer Sacramento temperatures!
Overall, this years VegFest was good. There were several vendors on site from booths with offers for free meditation classes and toiletries to baked goods and fresh fruit.
I won’t list all the vendors here, but I did attach a picture for your viewing pleasure. Here were my favorites:
Kombucha Kulture — If you have never had kombucha, you’re missing out! They had some great flavors at this event, I especially enjoyed the turmeric. What a clever idea!
Nacheez — This ish tasted like REAL NACHO CHEESE! Granted, it has been years since I’ve tasted actual nacho cheese, but this stuff was good! So good, I signed up for the cheese making classes!
Two Moms Catering — No Oink Chipotle Slider. I don’t think I need to say anything else.
Kitchen Witch Gourmet — Love Tea #3… sweet, spicy and smooth. Writing this review reminds me that I need to order some.
doTERRA — Essential oils I was never really familiar with. This couple explained the idea of how oils found in nature can be used as healing devices. Unfortunately, they were at a veg head convention, so they had a hard time finding folks with health issues. However, I did try their stress oil and felt pretty relaxed afterwards.
There were several speakers on stage. Unfortunately, I missed the ever radiant and jovial Chef Brooke from The Green Boheme, but I was able to sit in on Ed Bauer’s lecture. Professional trainer and body builder who has been vegan for 18 years. Very insightful stuff.
Overall, this was another great VegFest on the books. I would have liked to see a few more samples, but all in all, this was a great event and I am looking forward to next year!
