March 24, 2011 Night number one of the Nacogdoches Pro Rodeo and Steer Show gets underway tonight at the Expo Center.
Around 7 tonight, we'll have the first round of mutton bustin' - which in case you didn't know, is a bunch of youngsters trying their best to hold on for dear life on the back of a sheep.
March 15, 2011 We had some great young men and their families in the KICKS studio this morning.
Members of the Boy Scouts, Pack 111 from Douglass paid us a visit.
Let's meet the two Boy Scouts after the bump.
March 14, 2011 I do believe mom and dad thought this would be fun for the kid, but I don't think they intended for the kid to get this kind of air.
By the way...it was still fun for the kid.
March 11, 2011 We can't tell you how old these kids are, or even what country this is. But, as you can see for yourself, these five children sure play a mean -- if unflinchingly polite -- guitar.
It usually doesn't take long for a baby to get famous on the internet, and this little munchkin is no exception. All he needs is a little paper ripping action to set him off, and as of late Monday he had over 300,000 people watching. But, he's not the only famous laughing baby. Check out some others below. Which one is your favorite?
February 25, 2011 The 3rd annual Nacogdoches FFA Stew and Auction Fundraiser is being held this Saturday at the Freshmen cafeteria on the NHS campus.
The lunch starts at noon with the auction and raffle following shortly thereafter.
It's nice to read a story that involves celebrities helping others. I know they're famous and super successful, but at the end of the day, they're just regular people, right?
Read what Toby Keith did to help a little girl after the bump.
February 18, 2011 It was a pleasure again this morning to have some more of the outstanding youth who are participating in the 62nd annual Angelina County Youth Fair.
Today, we had yesterday's winners in several shows such as market hog, market goat, beef heifer, and steer.
There's more events going on today, but make sure you're on hand for the awards ceremony at 5 which will be followed by the auction.
February 17, 2011 My first thought after watching this video is that I really admire this girl for having so much patience.
My second thought is that it's quite relieving knowing that there are kids who are still finding ways to entertain themselves without using gadgets that require power cords and batteries
February 17, 2011 Today, I had the pleasure of interviewing more Angelina County students who are participating in the 62nd annual Youth Fair.
And God bless these kids...they all brought samples of their award winning cookies, pies, fudge, and cakes. For more details on the Youth Fair, click here.
A complete list of the top placers in the cooking portion of the Youth Fair follows the bump.
February 16, 2011 The Angelina County Youth Fair is getting into full swing at the George H Henderson Expo Center in Lufkin.
Tuesday saw students competing in cakes, desserts, and cheesecakes, as well as market and breeding rabbits. A few of yesterday's winners stopped by the KICKS 105 studios this morning for a Merrell in the Morning interview (some of the kids event brought samples of their award winning food!!)
