Patrons got a chance to sample vegan food and drinks and learn about  animal cruelty-free products and clothing. The Toronto Vegetarian Association had a booth at the venue, as did an animal rights group, spreading the word about The Official Animal Rights March taking place in Toronto on Aug. 25.  A panel of like-minded speakers, led by YouTube vlogger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCGJq0eQZoFSwgcqgxIE9MHw\/featured\">Mic the Vegan<\/a>, sat at a table in the bandshell and  talked about the merits of an animal-free diet.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:

I'll never really be a local - I still react to blackflies and mosquito bites - but Huntsville is the longest I\u2019ve ever lived anywhere and when your parents are gypsies you live in a lot of places. That's because I love this community. I love the wide open spaces, ancient rocks, lakes and forests. I also love the buzz of Huntsville's core and, well, the wi-fi. I'm a news and chocolate junkie. Respect integrity, talent, kindness, a good story and the taste of an organic tomatoe.
