Plenty of people are hitting the road for the holiday weekend, but, for those who aren't traveling,  there is no shortage of fun things to do locally for the holiday weekend.

Sometimes it's good to stay home for the holiday weekend, fire up the backyard grill, and do something locally. If you are staying in the valley this weekend, try one or more of these fun happenings in Grand Junction.
