Artists turn trash into a desert fortress during annual festival

Over 700 people traveled to Green River this weekend for the annual Building Man festival at Jenk Star Ranch. Artists gathered to create sculptures out of found objects and naturally sourced materials. We also hear from our partners at KSJD about a water conservation program in Colorado whereby water users are paid to scale back. Plus, Maggie McGuire of the Moab Sun News previews today’s Grand County Commission meeting. Photo: Tattoo artist Marie Gardner puts the finishing touches on her studio at Building Man.
