The average person eats about 35 farmed animals per year, adding up to thousands in a lifetime. Leafleting with literature on factory farming is proven effective in creating new vegans and vegetarians, and convincing others to reduce their consumption of animal products. By educating the public about animals suffering on factory farms, we can inspire others to spare thousands, if not millions, of animals and ultimately work toward the end of exploitation.

Join MFA as we leaflet the Dayton Celtic Festival at the beautiful new RiverScape MetroPark in downtown Dayton on Saturday, July 31st.  To find this event, look for David who will be wearing an MFA messenger bag near N. Jefferson St. and E. Monument Ave.

For more information on this event, please email David Meadows or call 937.239.0125.

An RSVP is not required, but it will help us determine the correct number of leaflets to bring. We will also notify you if we have to cancel the event due to bad weather.

When: Saturday, July 31, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The first Saturday evening of every month brings lots of open-minded individuals to the Short North art district of Columbus during Gallery Hop.

During a typical Hop, over 40 galleries and non-traditional art venues (think restaurants, boutiques and salons) spotlight the best of established and emerging Ohio-based artists. They also feature the works of nationally and internationally acclaimed artists. On the streets, performers settle into the many nooks of the district to entertain the throngs of Short North fans.
