Food Not Bombs Las Vegas

Food Not Bombs Las Vegas held our weekly Free Picnic in the Park at Baker Park on February 21^st from 10:30am to 12pm. We had rice, chili beans, vegetable soup, sweet potatoes, stewed squash, salad,  banana bread and fruit for the main course, with orange juice and fruit punch to drink.

It was a beautiful day out but a small group. About 15 people joined in the meal this week. Food Not Bombs organizers Charles, Kelly, Daniel, Nick, Vanessa, and Gail were there. It was beautiful and warm as long as the sun stayed out, but with a wind that kept blowing around our utensils. Dogs were walked; we talked about plans for upcoming events; and had a great day in the sun.

See you all this weekend!

We had a big mess of bagels, rice, beans, vegetable soup, and salad for the main course, with fresh fruit and a delicious vegan apple crisp for desert, and orange juice, citrus punch, and fruit punch to drink.

It was cloudy and a bit chilly and started to rain toward the end of the meal. About 25 people joined in the meal this week. Food Not Bombs organizers Kelly, Kaleb, Sean and Daniel were there, and Charles made it back after a month of traveling. Gail cooked the soup, beans, and rice and made the salad, and dropped by later in the meal. Laura made up the apple crisp and had Charles deliver it.

In spite of the cloudy skies, the weather is starting to turn nice, and we had a good chance to talk about the community in the park and anarchist organizing in Vegas. No music this week — but the boombox will be back, with fresh batteries, next Sunday. See you at the park next week!
