Lake Charles, La [KNGT-FM] - Well, well, here we are, Thanksgiving week. The kids are out of school, and you are most likely off from work after Wednesday at noon. After all the turkey has been eaten, you will be looking for something to do with friends and family who came in for the holidays.
There are some events, live music, and local high school playoff football games happening in the area, and we have compiled a list of what's going on.

There are five local high school football teams left in the playoffs, and four of those teams will be hosting a playoff game right here in Southwest Louisiana this Friday night. The schedule looks like this:
