Solar Ovens

 Below are a few photos taken over the years at the  solar pot luck held every year at the end of April in Catalina State Park outside Tucson AZ. There is good solar cooked food, good music and good people. The second oldest solar event in the country.

 
         
April 24, 2010: (Saturday)
The 28th Annual
Solar Pot Luck
at Catalina State Park
11570 N. Oracle Rd., Tucson, AZ

The Potluck is free of charge and open to everyone.
Catalina State Park is offering free admission the day of the Potluck.

There will be solar cooking demonstrations all day long, and a free pot luck featuring a wide variety of solar cooked dishes toward the end of the day. There will also be entertainment and guest speakers discussing solar and other conservation technologies throughout the day.

Citizens for Solar invites everyone to come and join in the fun of the 28th Annual Tucson Solar Potluck and Exhibition. This is the longest continuously running solar potluck in the world. See practical, innovative solar energy in useful action. People will be cooking food in dozens of types of solar ovens. Enjoy solar powered music during the afternoon and into the evening. Taste solar cooked food, see photovoltaic solar electricity generated, feel solar cooling, and see solar powered technology.

Although solar cooked snacks will be provided all day, the solar potluck feast begins around 5:00 p.m. Either bring your solar oven and cook with us or bring a dish to share and join in the fun.

The Solar Potluck and Exhibition is free to the public. The event is held in the “Large Group Use Area” of Catalina State Park, which is located on Oracle Road 5.2 miles north of Ina Road.
