Events Going On In Lake Charles & SWLA This Weekend Aug.15-17

[KNGT-FM] - The weekend is finally here, folks. It has been a long week with all of us getting back into a routine after all the kids returned to school. Whether you had to start getting up earlier to get the kids off to school or you had to wake up earlier to beat the school traffic to get to work on time, we are all tired after this week.

Now that it's the weekend, it's time to put that all behind us and go have some fun. The question now is, what to do? We found a few things in Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana that you may be interested in doing. Here you go.
