The Veggie Pride Parade, NYC, costume and slogan contest
IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all of the prizes have been distributed. Due to dificulties with the sound system at the post-parade rally, which forced us to rearrange the program on stage, we were a bit rushed with the awards ceremony. The following winners still need to come forth to obtain their vouchers and/or certificates for their prizes: Dan Piraro, New Jersey Vegan Families, The "Give A Damn" T-shirt wearer, the "pink lady" and baby "pig," the carrot, and Rick Panson. If you know any of these people, please let them know a prize awaits them.
