Food samples are handed out all day, the favorite seems to be our solar cooked pizza. Picture a beautiful panoramic view of the Santa Catalina Mtns, while you are nestled at a lower elevation amongst the mesquite trees. Solar ovens are everywhere, each emitting its own tantalizing smells. People are having fun and exchanging ideas all around you. Attendance has varied over the years, this year 350 to 400 people showed up.
Most people come, observe and go on their way.
But next year, a few of those same people will show up with some type of solar project of their own. We are not real formal but we get the job done. Money is not the issue here, it's solar consciousness we want to spread. The park has trails, camping and represents the vast Sonaran Desert well. Obviously this event requires some money to make it happen.
