We passed out 1,000 Non-GMO cookies donated by Mary's Gone Crackers and MAM flyers to teach people all about GMOs and how to go Non-GMO for their family :) Parades move fast and we were busy passing things out to those on the curb watching the parade, so didn't get a lot of photos, but did make a huge impact!
