Between Timbers games and spending time with Mom on Sunday, there are a few events worth exploring this weekend.
The Portland Vegfest kicks off Friday evening with a keynote address by Howard Lyman, the Mad Cowboy.
The fair Saturday runs from 10am-6pm at Benson High School (546 NE 12th Avenue). The events include food samples, speakers, chef demonstrations, classes, and a multitude of exhibitors.
If you prefer human flesh to vegetables, head to the Hollywood Theatre (4122 NE Sandy Boulevard) Friday and Saturday night for Zompire: The Undead Film Festival. Andrew Migliore, the creator of the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival brings us films of zombies and vampires this time.
The Daily Vanguard‘s Jesse Thiessen previews the films and interviews the monster man behind the festival of Zombies, Vampires, and all things undead.
