Turner and McCoy

Each and every week, Kiss Country wants to thank all those incredible men and women who have served our great country! We appreciate the sacrifices made by service personnel and their families, this week we salute a local Marine - Lance Corporal Thomas Beranek.

We were only able to ignore the popularity of Honey Boo Boo for so long. We finally caved--in a big way. And even though we aren't running around here without shoes on and we didn't spend our weekend at the expired bulk junk food auction, we did find out our Honey Boo Boo names: "Tootie Tantrum and Grace Mae Mae", c'mon, you know you wanna know yours. . . we won't tell.
