Hot air balloons take off into the sky above the town of Snowmass Village’s Town Park on Sept. 14, 2025.

On this week’s Regional Roundup, we'll hear a report from the recent Colorado River District’s Across Divides seminar. We visit the Snowmass Balloon Festival, and then we'll learn about a new exhibit celebrating the state’s 150th anniversary. We also look at how invasive zebra mussels are threatening Colorado’s waterways, and we meet a theater troupe using first-person storytelling to amplify the voices of marginalized communities, and we hear how they recently lost tens of thousands of dollars in federal grants. Tune into the Regional Roundup on KDNK.org every Thursday at 4:30 pm.
