The Ecology Research Center is one of the solar tour sites again this
year. We will have an open house at the ERC from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm.
with guided tours of the Center by Ann Rypstra at 1:00 and 2:00.
I will be running a solar home design workshop that will start at 10:00
and run until noon. The Students for Sustainable Design are planning to
sell solar cooked "hot dogs" (meat and vegy) along with other lunch
items. The solar cooking will of course depend on the sun.
