Celebration: Los Angeles 2000
Wow! WorldFest-LA—what a success! It was a success not only
because nearly 10,000 people came out, not only because we got national media
coverage, but because were able to touch the hearts of many people with the
message of compassion.
|
We
had 8,000-10,000 people come out for a day of fun, inspiration,
music, and lots of delicious, healthy food. Thanks to all the
exhibitors, volunteers, celebrities, and attendees that helped make
WorldFest a great success!
|
Many
curious people came out wanting to learn about cruelty free,
healthy living and learn how they could get involved.

Families had a great time at WorldFest. Just look at
the smiles on the children's faces!

....And
the food was GREAT!!!
The
food booths were a smashing success—the food vendors got lots of
business, and of course everyone loved the vegan food!

was swarming with media. Reporters and photographers from many
local and national news outlets covered the event.
