The annual Cruelty Free Festival was on today, so obviously I was gonna be there! We arrived at about 12 o'clock and the festivities were already well underway. I don't know if anyone else gets this at Vegan/Animal related events but I always feel so at home when I'm around like minded people. I was well at ease as we stood in line to get our Funky Pies fix. We went with what we knew, so it was their 'Funky Chunky' all the way and it did NOT disappoint.
This years food options were, as always, great and varied. The always popular staples of Golzemes and Bounty Burgers drumming busily away with crazy lines to match Funky's. There was also a great Vegan Thai spot this year.
Also garnering a well deserved mention is Rubyfruit, who always hit the spot for those with sweet teeth, like my favourite girls, (and yes, teeth, plural). Jenn and Zooey-Belle shared a delicious cherry coconut cheesecake that I tried with my not so sweet tooth, and I've gotta admit, it was awesome!
Taking away was easy and good value aswell. We bought four Cheezly cheezes (mozzarella, blue) for an easy $20, which is great value for the brand and was the highlight of my take home shopping.
As usual there was no shortage of entertainment on the stage, and for those social butterflies, in the speed meeting tent (which had a 'networking' focus this year). So we got to eat lunch with Zooey-Belle (who loves pie pastry) and listen to some great music.
The other stalls (clothes, books, pet food and charity) were all out in force to celebrate and educate. We had a good time just walking around chatting away with plenty of new people.
We got to meet a new internet friend, Sarah, and her family (she runs a great blog over here) as well as getting some cool intros to other vegan parents from the Sydney Vegan Parents group.
All in all today was just an easy and fun day for our little family. Its yearly tradition, with a twist.. CFF never gets old.
Thanks Guys!
Ps. I'd like to thank my girlfriend Jenn (over at Belle & Me) for re-doing my blog, thanks babe!
