4. Do I need to bring a dish?
You can prepay at a higher cost up until 11/10/23 if you do not choose to bring a dish (suggested donations listed in question #13).
To allow for proper planning and to make sure we have enough food for all, this year people who do not prepay and show up at the door will need to bring a dish. We are not accepting people at the door without a dish.

5. If I paid to bring a dish, what are the requirements?
a. The dish should serve at least 8+ people or 16+ for couples.
b. All ingredients must be VEGAN! NO EXCEPTIONS! Non-vegan food will NOT be placed on the buffet line. (No honey, no dairy, no eggs, no fish sauce, no chicken broth, no gelatin)

6. What type of dish should I bring?
a. You can bring: entrees, desserts, side dishes, appetizers, fruit, veggie, drinks.

7. Do I need to tell you what food I’m bringing?
a. No, there will be a variety of food and everyone is free to bring whatever they choose, as long as it is VEGAN (No honey, no dairy, no eggs, no fish sauce, no chicken broth, no gelatin)

8. Will there be free parking?
a. Yes, parking is free, but is limited so carpooling is encouraged.
b. PLEASE DO NOT walk along the driveway in front of facility, as it is very dangerous for both those driving and the pedestrians. It also slows traffic into the event. After parking, cross over the driveway, out of the way of the cars!

9. What can I do to expedite the process and reduce my waiting time in line?
a. Bring a card listing all of the ingredients in your dish.
b. Label all of your serving containers and utensils! All of your dishes and utensils must have your name on them, including covers!
c. Have each guest print, sign and bring the waiver to the event. This makes the lines quicker and easier for everyone involved! Find the waiver on www.ThanksVegan.com right below the prepay on the site.

10. Can I bring food home?
a. No, personal dinnerware or to-go containers are NOT permitted.

11. Do I need to bring my own plates and eating utensils?
a. No. Bringing your own plates is NOT permitted. Reusable plates & utensils will be provided.

12. How do I check in?
a. The line to check in will start on the back side of the Dome near the kitchen because of food drop-off. This will help the line flow more efficiently and make dropping off food easier.
b. Blue tokens will be distributed at registration, for the first time you go through the food line.
c. If you pre-paid, you need to know the name of the person who your group is registered under when you check in. We can only look up payments by the name of the person who paid. Your name is generated by PayPal, when you get the email verify that is your current name and if name is incorrect email ThanksVegan@gmail.com.
