Sept 2. - Old Man Gloom Scheduled To Go Up In Smoke Friday

For the past several weeks hundreds of volunteers have been building a giant marionette of sticks and muslin that will be burned in effigy at Fort Marcy Park this Friday.  The figure goes by the name Zozobra, and for 91 years the tradition has heralded the beginning of the annual Santa Fe Fiesta on the Plaza.  KSFR’s Deborah Martinez has more on the making of Zozobra and what he means to Santa Fe.
