"ABSOLUTELY AMAZING BLUEGRASS VEGFEST EVENT! I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed being at and participating in the Bluegrass Vegfest in Louisville KY yesterday! The HUGE crowd at that event was w/o question the most diverse, eclectic, warm, cool crowd I've ever seen at a vegan event. There were people there from EVERY racial and ethnic group, age range, lifestyle and creed.

“There were biker-types, blue-haired hipsters and blue-haired older ladies. I saw families with kids and childless couples; teenagers in groups, and single people just hanging out. There were Blacks, Whites, Asians, Hispanics, Native Americans, Indian Americans, Pacific Islanders, South-Asian Americans, straight, LGBTQ and I suspect, those who were gender fluid — EVERYONE was represented! Literally every American demographic seemed to be there, and amazingly everyone was comfortable and cool with each other.

“I hate to sound trite or naive — but it was absolutely beautiful to see and experience! Much of the time I stood around looking on in what I can only describe as "wonderment" (wonder + amazement) just taking it all in. I hadn't experienced that kind of feeling since I'd been in the crowd at Barack Obama's first Inauguration. I was in an America I both recognized and didn't. It was certainly the country I wished for, but seldom see. I didn't want the day to end. The Bluegrass Vegfest was truly one of those amazing events where "you shoulda been there!”
