The challenges facing local news organizations are very real. That's why reader support matters more than ever. If you believe independent journalism matters, make a contribution today and help us reach our summer fundraising goal of $25,000 by August 9.
This week’s events lean more to the group-dinner side of things, with a farm dinner in Longmont supporting the Naturally Colorado organization, and the latest installment of the Mile Long Table project seeking 5,280 diners (last year it gathered 3,000).
But the one that has us most interested is an Oaxacan cultural celebration taking place in Westminster that could deliver some serious flavors from the culinary capital of Mexico.
