"The Chicago House Music Festival is an annual celebration of **[Chicago house music](https://www.choosechicago.com/house-music/)** that has revolutionized dance music globally. Held in Millennium Park every summer, this joyous event celebrates the Chicago-born genre and attracts house fans from across the globe to hear today’s top DJs and up-and-coming talent."

Because this event is HOURS of music and dance, we will be getting to the Pritzker Pavilion around ___and set up a spot with a sign (or two) for you to hopefully find us (close to the front/middle) of the field!!

If you've never been....or if you're a "house head" like me, you will need to bring: a CHAIR or blanket, wear dancin' shoes, clothes you can get your "percolator on" in and we packed a cooler of snacks, etc.
CHECK THE RULES OF WHAT YOU CAN BRING IN....I Know they don't allow GLASS...

**DO YOU NEED HELP PREPARING PLANT-BASED MEALS?**
**A VEGAN DINNER? DESSERTS? DRINKS?**

**VEGANS for 30+ years now.**

* **We are sharing our TRIALS, TRIBULATIONS, SUCCESSES and CREATIONS.**

We've come a long way: from rubber tofu dishes back in the day to gourmet PLANT-BASED meals, desserts and drinks.

***THE EATIN' IS GOOD!***

**Join me as we learn how to prepare your favorite dishes so YOU TOO can enjoy the world of plant-based LIVE foods.**

**We will take time to learn about:**

* Plant-based and whole food products, their nutritional values,
* natural and organic spices, seasonings and sauces,
* homemade condiments,
* types of natural plant-based proteins for foods,
* drinks, and desserts.

You don't have to STARVE being a vegetarian or vegan....trust me!

Did you know there are 1000s of plants you can use to create GREAT TASTING foods and drinks?
