Maybe print some small 3"x5" recipe cards with a special, regional
recipes and leave those in a plastic ziploc kind of bag to protect it
from the elements? Or, how about some menus (the take away sort, not
necessarily for 'take out' food) from local eateries? I always enjoy
reading menus from nearly any restaurant (the fast food places like
mickeyDs and arby's don't count), even if I can't dine there.
