What’s Happening in Lake Charles This Weekend Jan 16–18

Lake Charles, LA [KNGT-FM] - The weekend is almost here, and for some of you, you may have a three-day weekend. You may be saying Wait, what do you mean. This Monday is a federal holiday.

The Martin Luther King holiday is this Monday, January 19th, so most federal, state, banks, and other entities are closed to observe the holiday. That gives you a chance to even have a Sunday Funday too.
