This week's Regional Roundup features a story about a beloved carousel in Nederland, Colorado. It was built to honor veterans and continues to bring joy to the community as it recovers from a devastating fire. We’ll hear from a group of Utah quilters who are using their craft for activism, blending art and politics through “craftivism.” And finally, we’ll hear about a new podcast, "Back from Beyond," that shares powerful stories from search and rescue teams in southeast Utah. Tune into the Regional Roundup on KDNK.org every Thursday at 4:30 pm.
