Saturday, June 10th will bring a diverse set of events to southwestern Colorado. The Dolores River Festival, the Ute Mountain Roundup Rodeo, and King of the Cage: Warlords 2 will all occur within a 50-mile radius.
KSJD will live stream the Dolores River Festival, and has interviewed bull riders from the Ute Mountain Roundup Rodeo. To add to the mix, KSJD's Austin Cope sat down with local competitors at the King of the Cage competition at the Ute Mountain Casino.
