Legendary county rock band Sawyer Brown brings its electric live show to this year’s Friday night fair and rodeo concert.

Texas Country powerhouse Casey Donahew gets things started at the fairgrounds in Rifle.

Overpass closure Wednesday

UPDATE: CDOT will close the Mamm Creek overpass on Garfield County Road 315 between Rifle and Silt. The work is now rescheduled to August 12-13, overnight from 11 pm to 3:30 a.m. The work is for deer guard replacement.

All traffic will need to use either Garfield County Road 346 or 352 to access I-70 during this time, as the guards will be removed, leaving an open trench during construction.
