Events

The Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance and Native Seeds Search are throwing the third and final part of the Three Sisters series at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 17.

The Three Sisters is an agricultural practice that plants three ingredients — corn, beans, and squash — together wisely. Each contributes in a different way but the combined result is a more nutritious soil that caters to pest and weed prevention.

Instead of dining in the evening like the prior feasts, this event is a sampling-style brunch to celebrate these three ingredients.

In addition to the brunch, there will be plenty of mingling, live music, art activities, a bloody mary and mimosa bar, and more.

Tickets are $45 per person. The menu has not yet been released, but take a glance at the participating restaurants and vendors.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
