On this week's Regional Roundup, we'll hear about the extreme fire danger facing communities across the Rocky Mountain West. Then, we go to Aspen, where an all-American form of dance called Bandaloop turned the side of a building into a stage during the Fourth of July weekend. After that, we'll visit Boulder where a gun safety initiative is giving free safes to firearm owners. Next, we'll head to Wyoming, where volunteers are removing miles of old barbed wire fence to make it easier for wildlife to migrate. And we'll wrap up the show in Utah, spending time with drag performer Diana Lone as she prepares for a show at Why Kiki Bar in Salt Lake City. Tune into the Regional Roundup on KDNK every Thursday at 4:30 pm.
