Adirondack Sports & Fitness Expo

Post by AVN Member, Jan

This past weekend the Albany Vegetarian Network Inc. tabled at the 4th Annual Adirondack Sports & Fitness Expo in Saratoga Springs, NY. The event drew in hundreds of attendees and hosted a variety of exhibitors related to health care, water sports, outdoor sports, and outdoor sport clothing. There was a rock climbing wall and a small pool in the middle of the venue, where people could try water equipment.

AVN Members, Jan, Dave and Anne were kept busy on Saturday -- and Lou, Barb Amrit, and Andy on Sunday -- with many attendees interested in vegetarianism and veganism. This event was a great success in spreading the word about how a veggie diet is directly related to one's health and activity levels. It was clear that some folks really made the connection and we were honored to be a part of that.
