The Texas Blueberry Festival is coming Saturday to downtown Nacogdoches with lots of fun, food, and entertainment for the entire family.

This year, there are a handful of FREE activities to do and amazing performances to see, so come on out to the 23rd Annual Texas Blueberry Festival this Saturday in downtown Nacogdoches from 8am to 4pm.
Friday June 1st (TODAY!) is National Doughnut Day. If you live in a place that has them, Krispy Kreme locations across the nation will be celebrating by offering a free…doughnut of any variety, no purchase necessary.
An eclipse like this only happens once every twenty years, and it will be viewable in Texas Sunday; partially anyway.
A solar eclipse is when the moon blocks out the sun for a time, and leaves a ring of fire around its circumference. The sky gets a little spooky-looking for a bit and then the moon and sun part like a good Dancing with the Stars release move, and life goes back to normal.
Spots like Reno, NV and Albuquerque, NM will have the most spectacular views of the complete eclipse, but the entire path of the eclipse stretches from China to Texas. Plenty of folks will have the opportunity to see the rare show of nature.

Getting too scientific about it might make my head explode, but I’ve heard ingesting what the bees produce is supposed to help fight off seasonal allergies.

With the Farmer’s Market is open in Nac, you can not only get local honey, but just about anything else homegrown too.

So once school is done for the summer, what's the first thing students do? That's right - try to find a job. You could take a nice vacation with friends and/or family, or buy new summer clothes, or go to some fun concerts (brought to you by KICKS 105, of course), but all of that requires $.

April 13, 2012 Singer songwriter Brian Keane stopped by the Kicks 105 studios and was kind enough to leave us autographed copies of his new CD 90 Miles An Hour! Want to win one?

With the nice spring weather more people are starting to spend time outside, and the right combination of rain and sun also means snakes are happy, and they’re being spotted in greater numbers.
