Heads Up If You Live In Calcasieu Parish, Your Services to be Interrupted

Lake Charles, LA [KNGT-FM] - As we approach a new year, most folks will be off for the New Year's holiday. People will be out of town, staying home and watching New Year's bowl games, or heading out for a party somewhere to ring in the new year.

As we all know, when it comes to the holidays, it also comes with closures to services you're used to receiving or accessing each week. Things like banks, stores, and local and federal agencies will all observe the holiday. This means things like your garbage pickup days and times will also be altered.
