FOOD & WINE
+ Fruits: Fruit adds a sweetness and color to the board while providing an opportunity to play with seasonal produce. Grab a handful of fresh berries for summertime, or slice up some crisp apples and plump pears during the fall.
+ Grains: Every board needs a vessel to pile on all the culinary combinations. Crackers are the common culprit, and we recommend picking a combination of thin wafers, fuller crackers, pita, and pretzels to create the ultimate textural experience.

taken centerstage at kitchen tables and gatherings of every kind. Kerry Manco started charcuterie as an enjoyable way to stick to the Keto diet, because, minus the crackers, everything on the boards can be curated to a Keto-friendly lifestyle. When the Coronavirus outbreak rendered her jobless in April of 2020, Kerry thought she’d try selling some of her boards.

I didn’t know anything about cheese or cured meats,” Kerry says. “You really can make a living doing something that you really enjoy.” The board pictured serves 8-10 people as a snack, but she customizes boards to serve any number.

The flexibility of the art allows space to be as extravagant or as thrifty as needed and brings a measure of celebration to any occasion.

HOT SPOT THE VINTAGE CAR CLUB IS DEDICATED TO THE PRESERVATION OF CLASSIC CARS
ARTICLE LAURA MOYA PHOTOGRAPHY VCC CLUB MEMBERS
classic cars never go out of style
THE VINTAGE CAR CLUB OF CASTLE ROCK WAS FOUNDED IN 2007 AND IS A CLUB OF OVER 150 MEMBERS OF CAR ENTHUSIASTS OF ALL AGES WITH ALL TYPES OF CARS. Members, family members, friends, and all interested non-member car enthusiasts are always welcome at their monthly meeting/dinner as well as all monthly scheduled events. The club is also very proud to support an annual Automotive Technology Scholarship for a Douglas County Senior along with a variety of local charities with donations made by the club.
20
Castle Rock Lifestyle | September 2021
The majority of VCC’s revenue for these donations is generated by their two annual car shows. The largest is the “Classic Rock Cruise In” Car Show which is in mid-June, the Saturday before Father’s Day. It’s held in downtown Castle Rock and each year sells out its 300+ spots for the show. Their “Hot Rods in The Village” Car Show is a smaller, more intimate car show with about 100 classic cars held in mid-August at The Village at Castle Pines shops. In addition to the club’s annual car shows, the club has monthly dinner meetings and short local cruises. They recently had a “First Responders” cruise by multiple fire stations to show thanks for their dedication. The club’s August cruise started at The Outlet Mall and ended up at the Bonaventure Assisted Living Facility with a “mini-show” for the residents. The VCC’s member’s are happy to be able to give back to the community and promote a love of cars for future generations. To learn more: https://thevintagecarclub.com/ CONTINUED >

THE MESSAGE IS IN THE MEDIUM (CONTINUED)
“For me, the sculpture symbolizes youth looking forward to the future,” Matt explains. “The tree was dying, but you can see that it was sprouting new growth again on the inside.” Just as Matt is committed to sharing the stories he finds in the art he creates, he also is committed to sharing the stories of the artists in his community. Matt is on the Board of Directors of CRAC (Castle Rock Artists Cooperative), an organization committed to bolstering the town’s art scene and helping new artists get started. They host pop-up shows in venues around town, including places like Union American Bistro, Ecclesia Market, Pegasus, LostCoffee, and the Rhyolite Gallery in an effort to make Castle Rock even more beautiful. Matt has several works of art for sale and is available for custom commission projects. Check out his work at slantbrushstudio.com or contact him directly at 720-256-6665.

Madeline worked on several exhibits, but her favorite is the umbrella photo wall because of what it expresses. “It’s meant to symbolize that no matter what happens on the outside, you can always find the light within,” she says. Collaborating as a family proved to be challenging and rewarding for the Webb family. Mercedes was able to see new sides of each of her family members. “I got to see my dad finally do the things he dreamed of without being told no or having to do them under someone else,” Mercedes says. “I was able to experience the beautiful creative side that my mom has and see the unique way my sister sees the world.” Heidi was proud of her family’s ability to take on a challenge and persevere through the difficult parts. “That’s what art is: believing in the impossible. Then, you take what is possible and warp it in such a way that makes the impossible a reality.” You can visit Earth Illuminated through the end of 2021 at the Denver Pavilions on Denver’s 16th Street Mall Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase at earthilluminated.com.

WHAT IT IS Antique Chest STYLE IT Coffee Table PRO TIP Revive solid-wood pieces with little actual value by refinishing the wood to your liking.
Don’t be afraid to do something different, and don’t take things too seriously. If the piece you’re working with doesn’t have any real value, you have so many options to liven it up, including paint, finish and hardware.
Make your piece multi-purpose by turning the lid into a game table or by storing your cocktail accessories inside for an easy-access mini bar!
Spread the vintage love. Use antiques strategically and as accent pieces to keep your overall aesthetic from coming off as too dated.
