NEDERLAND - During one of the busiest weekends of 2025, as peepers backed up the highways and clogged Nederland’s roundabout, some were keen enough to stop and see what was cooking around town, quite literally, as peepers were seen parking at the RTD lot and running across Highway 72 to get a delicious Navajo Taco at the Calvary Chapel Annual Harvest Festival.
The famous tacos, served by the Begay family of Arizona, are a prime example of what makes the Harvest Festival such a special, one-of-a-kind event, as it truly highlights the unique talents of other cultures and of our own great communities here in the mountains.
The Begay family became associated with the church through its missionary outreach to reservations, and have returned annually to serve their tacos for several years. Their story is represented in the wonderful food that they serve, and the beautiful jewelry that they make.
Every artist, artisan, crafter, creator, and baker present at the Calvary Chapel brought their own stories and experience to the work that they showcased. There was the incredible paintings of Beatrice Sullivan and Geneva Hopkins of Geneva Studio Fine Art & Photography, and the breathtaking handmade jewelry of Laurie Meyers, and the impressive accessories made by the young entrepreneur behind Sadie Stitch Co.
As excited children ran back and forth between the outdoor games, the prize table, and inside to get their faces painted, and as locals and peepers alike enjoyed Navajo Tacos and sweets from Baked by Brittney, the music of local guitar legend Tony Crank and flautist Earl Correy created the sense of a warm embrace amongst the vibrant fall colors.
A very special thanks goes to the members of the contemporary church who volunteered to organize and manage the successful event, as well as to the local artists and artisans whose participation in the festival helped to highlight how blessed we are to be a part of such an amazing community.
The Calvary Chapel offers contemporary worship on Sundays at 11 a.m. at 275 West 2nd Street (Highway 72) in Nederland. For more information call 303-258-3502.
