Vegetarian Food Fair Manual Draft

Part I



Overview: The Basic Workings of a Vegetarian Food Fair

Before you can begin planning a vegetarian food fair, you must envision a general idea about the event so that your planning can be organized, efficient, and effective. Because such a wide variety of activities can be part of a food fair and because a food fair can emphasize any number of topics related to vegetarianism, it's important to think about the kind of fair you want to hold before you jump in and begin sending out media alerts.

In this part, the basic features of a food fair are described to provide preliminary ideas about what can take place at a vegetarian food fair. The suggestions in this section about where to hold a fair, what kinds of activities to organize, and what resources you might need are explained in more detail in Part II.

Many of the sections contain worksheets, tables, or visual samples to guide your planning and prompt you to customize the manual to your personal planning situation. You will find these materials grouped at the end of the section, with worksheets preceding any examples provided for that section.
