12th Annual Solar Picnic at the Somerville Community Growing Center

Celebrate the sun and another year's growth in the garden. Come and  
join us for a solar picnic - no gas, wood or charcoal grills, just  
solar cookers using the energy of the sun!

This event is a simple, traditional pot-luck picnic. No fire, just  
solar ovens/cookers. We will have a few solar cookers and some space  
available for you to bring your own. If you want to learn how to build  
one or see how they work, this is your golden opportunity! For more  
information see:
http://solarcooking.org

There will also be other solar devices demonstrated (of course, feel  
free to bring your own) and a good chance to see old friends and meet  
new ones. A great place for a picnic, the Somerville Community Growing  
Center is an urban oasis that was designed and built by local  
residents and is maintained by volunteers. http://www.thegrowingcenter.org

It's a recipe for a fine midsummer's day: friends, fun, food and the  
sun! Relax, chat, learn and explore the gardens. And when the  
delicious aroma of solar-cooked cuisine fills the air, come to the  
table and feast!
