Solar Cookout at Booker T. Washington Park

Monday, May 27, 1pm-3pm

Join us for a Fossil Fuel Free Feast and summer party with good old-fashioned activities like a 3-legged race, acoustic music, frisbee, and of course food! We’ll have solar cookers demonstrating how to bake outdoors using the sun’s heat. Bring a potluck dish to share, and challenge yourself to creatively prepare food without fossil fuels – sun-baked, wood-grilled, pickled, fermented, fresh from the garden etc. Look for recipe ideas coming soon on the Transition Cville Blog.

Are you a “solar cook” who could help with this event? Please get in touch!
Skill Share
