Week 3

Load up your crew and go look at Christmas lights!

The Lake Charles Civic Center has some great Christmas trees in front (that may or may not change along with 92.9 radio station!) They also have the 12 days of Christmas, and a nativity light display down Ryan St.

Trinity Baptist Church (1800 Country Club Rd) also has a great drive thru light display that runs nightly until December 26 from 5:30-11pm. Be sure to tune your radio to 88.9.

Bonus points: If you have room, invite Grandma to come along! Makes a special memory for her to have with your kids and she may even share some cool spots to go look!
