The longest week ever huh? We will tell you what, we think it has been a long one. The first part of the week, Monday and Tuesday, seemed like it took four days to go by.

The good news though is that we toughed it out and the weekend is finally here and time for us to blow off some steam and do something fun. This is where we come in. We did some looking around and found some things that are going on in Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana and put this list together for you. Here's what's happening.
