Healthy Lifestyle Expo: If you find yourself out in the valley this weekend, stop by the 2009 Healthy Lifestyle Expo. I have attended the Expo in previous years to check out some of the vendors. Generally they have a wide range of vegan vendors peddling their wears in an exhibit hall, but it looks like this year is more focused on the speakers and cooking panels. Still worth looking into if you’re passionate about healthy eating. Click here for more info.

I have never participated in the Pasadena Humane Society’s Wiggle Waggle Walk but I’ve heard it’s a great time. Unfortunately we’ve been cursed (blessed?) with two unruly mutts that aren’t exactly good in doggie social situations. I may stop by just to see the hundreds of dogs all walking around the Rose Bowl. Not only that, they have competitions for Pet/Owner Look-alike, Best Trick, and Ugliest Dog. If you can’t make it, there’s still time to donate.
