It’s a ‘We Care Wednesday’ with Gary and Bristol on Kiss Country!

This morning, Gary and I decided to turn our show over to folks who have a need right here in Kiss Country. After all, one thing that we're known for here in northwest Louisiana is taking care of our own.

Here are some of the events and fundraisers that you called in to us. We sure hope that you can help to support some of these great causes and families in our area!
