Some Eugeneans proudly forgo the emblematic turkey for Thanksgiving, choosing instead to partake in a peaceful celebration of all things vegan. The Vegan Thanksgiving Peaceful Potluck, put on yearly by the Eugene Veg Education Network, is a chance to share holiday goodies with the community and spare the lives of the animals that often get the short end of the stick on Thanksgiving. Remember: It’s a potluck, so don’t crash the party with- out contributing some delicious vegan food. For each member of your group, make sure to bring a vegan dish (meaning 100-percent plant-based food) that serves six to eight people. With music, friends and cruelty-free cuisine, it’s bound to be a good time. The Vegan Thanksgiving Peaceful Potluck starts 3pm Sunday, Nov. 24, at St. Jude Catholic Church, 4330 Willamette St. FREE with contribution of a vegan dish. — Amy Schneider 16 November 21, 2013 • eugeneweekly.com Team Run Eugene, adult track workout group, 6pm today & Thursday, Nov. 28, ATA Track, 24th & Fillmore St. FREE.
