I'm sad to see Comal Heritage Food Incubator closing next month... what an impact it has made on so many women, like Silvia Hernandez. I met Silvia in 2018 when Comal was operating in Denver's Taxi community. I was working on a story for Focus Points Family Resource Center which set up Comal to help develop food-based entrepreneurs among low-income women who came to CO as immigrants or refugees from countries like Iraq, Syria, Mexico, El Salvador, Syria, Ethiopia and Peru.
Silvia came to Colorado with her two children from Mexico. She didn't know anyone but she jumped at the opportunity to work at Comal where she perfected her moles and tamales. Between time in the Comal kitchen and micro-business classes offered through Focus Points, she moved on, successfully running her own restaurants and her catering business in Denver. Silvia isn't the only success story from Comal since it opened in 2016. The plan is to keep serving lunches through Valentine's Day in Rino Art Park (1950 35th St) and hopefully, Focus Points will be able to resurrect the food incubator and the opportunities it offers. The non-profit told Westword "we are actively seeking a like-minded operator to take over the space and continue a mission-driven culinary enterprise."

Here's a flashback.. and time sure has been on the side of a 6th generation Coloradan named Duke!
In 2015, I interviewed artist Duke Beardsley in a downtown Denver hotel where he had set up a pop-up studio for the week of Stock Show, as a way to get people excited about western art. Now... 10 years later... Duke is the Featured Artist at the Coors Western Art Exhibit and Sale which runs through the National Western Stock Show. The show features the best of the best, when it comes to our country's contemporary Western artists and the spotlight is deservingly on Duke.
One other positive note about this not-to-miss-event at the Stock Show... money raised goes to support 120 Coloradans who are studying agriculture, rural medicine and veterinary sciences.
Make sure to take in all of the art at Stock Show this year... and way to go Duke!!!!!

Women’s Bean Project 2024: Impacting families and communities, by believing in one woman at a time
