Even after last yearâs arrival of a pandemic, Colorado Parks and Wildlifeâs Cameo Shooting and Education Complex continues to exceed expectations as it grows into a world-class facility.
Itâs also looking to even bigger things to come in terms of its offerings and facilities and the types of events it can draw. This includes pursuing long-term plans for a multi-faceted visitor center and even a multipurpose banquet hall for entities interested in using Cameoâs facilities and holding conferences and other events there.
On Wednesday, the complexâs manager, Walt Proulx, provided an update on how far the facility has come and what the future may hold, in a presentation to the CPW Commission, which met in Grand Junction in a hybrid in-person/virtual event.

PATERSON Abdus Miah was a middle school teacher with a degree in education when he lived in Bangladesh, but his credentials didn’t carry over when he came to the United States.
So Miah took whatever work he could get and has spent more than 20 years in fast-food restaurant jobs in the Paterson area.
“I have to live,” he said. “I have to survive.”
Through all those years standing behind greasy counters, Miah maintained his belief in the value of education, and he passed that faith on to his children.
So it was especially fitting that Miah was working his regular Tuesday night shift at a Dunkin’ Donuts cash register last month when his 18-year-old daughter, Iffat Aniqa, called with some big news: She had been accepted to Yale University.
