Have you ever wondered about the white fluff found on prickly pear cactus? Join Andrew Lettes, the Sonoran Scientist, for a hands-on workshop that uncovers the interesting world of cochineal. This tiny insect is indigenous to the Southwest and Mexico. It produces a vibrant red or purple dye that has been used for thousands of years to dye both wool and cotton fibers. Program participants will learn the rich history and interesting science of cochineal. Everyone will experiment with cochineal to achieve different colors, paint with various shades, and take home a hand dyed cochineal friendship bracelet kit.

Join Sherrie Cruz of Sheri’s Traditional Foods to learn the art of making Tohono O’odham fry bread. Growing up on the Tohono O’odham reservation in Santa Rosa Village, Sherrie learned how to make fry bread from her mother and grandmother. Today, she continues the tradition for her children and grandchildren.
A beloved staple, fry bread is both delicious and versatile. It can be enjoyed as a sweet treat topped with honey, powdered sugar, or cinnamon, or as the base for hearty dishes like red chili or savory tacos with heaps of beans, beef, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Sherrie will walk participants through the process of making fry bread from scratch and assist everyone in frying the dough. Participants will take away 3-4 pieces of fry bread and Sherrie's recipe to make more at home.
*Cancellation Policy: To receive a full refund, please cancel your registration at least 48 hours in advance.
Please note that the workshop will likely be held outside, so please dress accordingly!<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/156013/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Mercado San Agustín

Potentially one of the most significant events to occur in Tucson in many decades is the development of the modern streetcar, now called the Sun Link. Ride the streetcar from one end to the other, getting off at various points to explore. The tour begins at the Mercado, the western terminus, with a brief history of the streetcar before boarding. Highlights include stops at the Gutierrez Bridge artwork, downtown streetcar art installations, a walking tour along Congress Street and 4th Avenue, and the University of Arizona Main Gate. Here, you’ll learn about Tucson’s original streetcar system, which operated from 1897 to 1930. Then, the streetcar travels through campus, concluding at 12:30 p.m. at the eastern terminus (Helen &amp; Warren Streets) with a visit to the public artwork “Poet.” The ride back to the Mercado is 30 minutes, but you’re welcome to stop for lunch on the way. The total time spent on the streetcar (some sitting, some standing) is about 1 hour. The walking portion covers about 1 mile over uneven ground with multiple curbs and one flight of stairs. Please reach out at info@tucsonpresidio.com with accessibility questions. Pre-registration is required. Begins and ends at the Mercado San Agustin, 100 S. Avenida del Convento off of West Congress Street, west of I-10. Your guide will be wearing a sun hat. Cancellation Policy: Cancellations received at least 24 hours in advance of the tour will receive a refund (minus a small transaction fee). Those received less than 24 hours in advance will not.
