Veggie Fest coming to Naperville

I came across this fest on Twitter that I hadn't heard of before and thought I'd share it with y'all. Sounds like a great time. I am not a vegetarian, but love pretty much every veggie out there so this could be a FUN FOODIE DAY! Have you been there before?

Here's the press release via their website, veggiefestchicago.com. Follow along on FB and Twitter for more info, too.

VEGGIE FEST, ONE OF THE LARGEST VEGETARIAN FOOD FESTIVAL

RETURNS TO NAPERVILLE, IL AUGUST 9-10

(Naperville, IL) It's almost time to fill up your car with your friends and family and head to the 9th Annual Veggie Fest, one of the largest vegetarian food and lifestyle festival in North America! With a huge international food court; health professionals speaking on diet, lifestyle, and environmental issues; engaging food demos by restaurant owners, chefs, and authors; an incredible children's tent with face painting, clowns, and crafts; live music from some of Chicago's best bands; and over 100 vendor booths to explore, it's easy to see why over 25,000 people from around the world attended the two-day Veggie Fest last year.
