The first weekend in June will be a fundraising weekend for the SHAC 7 and it is shaping up to be an amazing weekend of events sponsored by The Chicago Soy Dairy & Mooshoes! The local vegan meetup will be having their gathering at the vegan ice cream party and the donations for the craft fair just keep rolling in from both coasts and all around the Midwest. Here is just a small list of people who have donated to the craft fair:

Benefit Posters from www.madpakyderms.com
Animal Rights Books from Lantern Books (www.lanternbooks.com)
Shirts From www.AlternativeOutfitters.com & www.shocktherapyshirts.com
Wristcuffs from Agent Ladybug
Jewelry from Blue Buddha (www.bluebuddhaboutique.com)
Buttons and knit goods from crafters on the east coast

The list just goes on and on and none of that includes all the local crafters who have bought tables to participate in the fair. These events are going to be a lot of fun and with your help will raise alot of money for the SHAC 7. Mark your calendars and come out on June 3rd & 4th!

Saturday, June 3rd
1:00pm
Vegan Ice Cream Party/Cookout & Ultimate Kick Ball Championship!
Foster Beach (Foster & the Lake front)
Chicago, IL

Come out for a day of fun & food on the beach with the boys from the Chicago Soy Dairy & help raise money for the SHAC 7 (www.shac7.com). There will be vegan hotdogs to eat and of course plenty of Temptation vegan ice cream for sale either by the cone, scoop or in root beer floats. Or, if you already know that one cone isn't going to satisfy you, $10 gets you all the ice cream you can eat!

After that, if you are still able to walk, feel free to enter the ultimate kick ball championship! No need for a team, we will pick them on the spot. However, the stakes will be high, as not only will the winning team have the glory of being the Ultimate Kick Ball Champions, but will also be taking home the special grand prize. Want to know what it is? Then come out and win it! This will be great fun and all money raised will go directly to the SHAC 7 legal defense fund.
