say about the food options today:

"Food Court with burgers, Italian hot dogs,
sausage sandwiches, pulled pork, fries,
Beer Garden and soft beverages
Italian water ice, desserts, ice cream and more!!"

Show them that the 100% Vegan (and largely local and organic) booth that will be
vending today is at least as worthy of mention in their advertising as "Italian
hot dogs" or "soft beverages."

Come support South Jersey's only Vegan Cafe & Bakery at a fun-filled all-day
family event, culminating with fireworks after dark.
