EVENTS “I’ve had a camera in my hands since grade school and find myself forever obsessing about my next image. Bringing new images into the world is one of my favorite things to do, and I spend a significant amount of my time doing just that. The beauty of Grand Junction is a photographer’s dream; I’m blessed to live here.” — Ken Redding ( KenReddingPhotography.com ) Meet a Grand Junction Photographer JUL X Independence Day Parade & Fireworks X X AUG X Palisade Peach Festival Mesa County Fair Grand Junction Air Show OCT CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE, FLICKR/JAMES DOYLE; PALISADE PEACH FESTIVAL, MILES/MATTHEW INDEN; RIM ROCK RUN, INSTAGRAM/@HIDEFTV; GRAND JUNCTION PARADE OF LIGHTS; COLORADO MOUNTAIN WINEFEST.
