The green movement is all the rage these days, but the organizers of Tucson’s annual Solar Potluck and Exhibition, now in its 27th year, were hip to eco-friendly living long before it started making national headlines.
If you’ve never been to the potluck—which goes down at 10 a.m., Saturday, April 25—it takes place at Catalina State Park, which is located on Oracle Road, five miles north of Ina Road.
You don’t have to bring a solar oven to participate. Just bring your own eating utensils, some sunblock and a healthy curiosity about cooking with the power of the sun.
