The Utah State Fairpark has fenced off a part of the Jordan River Trail in Salt Lake City, as the State Fair opens this week. Host Ali Vallarta and executive producer Emily Means dig into the closure and the tense response by SLC Council members. Plus, the Great Salt Lake gets a major donation, Halloween costume gems, and dinosaurs in concert.
