On this week's Regional Roundup, we bring you voices from Pride celebrations across the Rocky Mountain West. We also hear about a new app that connects LGBTQIA+ community members with volunteer opportunities in Utah and beyond.
As drought conditions persist across the region, Trout Unlimited is urging anglers to give stressed fish a break by reducing fishing on rivers with low flows and warm water temperatures. We also hear from southwest Colorado, where dry conditions are affecting irrigators, growers and gardeners. With drought comes increased wildfire risk. We visit a firehouse in Salida that is looking to lessons from past fire seasons as they prepare for what could be another challenging summer. And in south-central Colorado, we visit a jazz group that is building community through music.
Tune into the Regional Roundup on KDNK every Thursday at 4:30 pm.
