You’ve got your Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and then Cyber Monday, but you can’t forget about Giving Tuesday — the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
From 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 30, Watershed Management Group is gettin’ the party started with a one-of-a-kind Rainwater on Tap Happy Hour — serving up rainwater cocktails.

This event is a celebration of local water solutions, including an experience of Watershed Management’s rainwater-fed landscape, Sonoran food forest, waterless toilets, and a river heritage exhibit.
The evening is destined to be as festive as ever with live cumbia music by Santa Pachita, dinner with The Curry Pot food truck, and your choice of two rainwater cocktails, Pueblo Vida Brewing Company’s beer, or hot cider.

On top of everything else that was already mentioned, there’s going to be jumbo-sized Jenga, cornhole, and most likely a dance-off or two.
Tickets are $20 and that includes two drink tickets. Purchase them ahead of time because they’ll be $25 on the day of.

They’re currently attempting to reach a $45,000 Giving Tuesday goal and you can become a monthly donor starting at $10 a month, or you can make a one-time donation.
Also, they’ll be selling their branded Hyrdate Local growlers, which can be used and filled at any of the local breweries pouring here in Tucson.
The Rainwater on Tap Happy Hour is being held at 1137 N. Dodge Blvd. For more information, visit watershedmg.org.

More about MattAt 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.
