Veggie Fest is coming to Naperville, Illinois for two days packed full of veg fun.  And man, this veggie fest has it all!  There will be over 100 different vendors (including the Chicago Diner - EVERYONE loves the Chicago Diner!!), restaurants and exhibitors, speakers on both days, childrens activities and even live music.  And of course, veggie food to tempt your tastebuds.
