KICKS 105

We are getting close to being just one month away from the first day of classes for Lufkin ISD. School for the Pack Nation begins on August 10. Click here to see when all schools will be having their first day of class. There will be a change in the...

In the immortal words of Limp Bizkit's smash hit song 'Break Stuff', “It's just one of those days!" Sometimes the best way to handle your anger is to just go with it. I had a friend that would go to a thrift store and buy a bunch of cheap dishes and just keep them handy. Inevitably she would have a bad day and end up smashing the dishes. She said it made her feel much better. Now I know she was ahead of her time.

It's hot as _______ in Texas this summer. You can fill in the blank with the word you think is appropriate. The word that comes to my mind, while an appropriate description, is definitely not suitable for work. Well, good news for all the vulgar-word hating folks here, one Austin, TX comedian's viral Tik Tok perfectly explains this summer... Without a single swear word.

Facebook posts from the San Augustine County Sheriff's Department at 11:23 AM on July 4th, 2022 asked for the public's help finding K9 Officer Frankie. She broke out of her kennel and was missing in the Lufkin area off of Oleta Avenue. Frankie was found and unfortunately had passed away....

No Fourth of July party is complete without a summertime country banger, and Jake Owen supplied not one but two when he took the stage for PBS' A Capitol Fourth special on Monday night (July 4). Wearing a festive and sparkly silver blazer, Owen dug out a pair of fan-favorites...

July 4th has come and gone, and for many, that means that the Summer break is about halfway gone. But, there is still plenty of time to get away for a quick excursion to Moody Gardens in Galveston. The signature sights of Moody Gardens are the Rainforest and Aquarium Pyramids....

Officials with the Lufkin Police Department and the Texas Department of Transportation are strongly advising motorists to avoid traveling around the south side of Lufkin near the Loop 287/Highway 59 interchange. A log truck lost its load on the northbound flyover at South 1st Street and Loop 287. Thankfully, no...

Are you familiar with the "Snacklebox?" It's one of those things that almost makes too much sense and the internet has fallen in love with the concept over the last few months. First of all, it's exactly what it sounds like. You find a traditional tacklebox—usually used for fishing tackle...

The State of Louisiana has taken the dreaded word problem from math class and turned it into a traffic law. You know the one -- if vehicle A is traveling west at 35 mph and...(do I have to do the rest)?. However, getting this word problem wrong could earn you...

We knew that the remnants of a tropical disturbance would be raising the chances of rain over a very parched Deep East Texas. For the most part, those chances of rain were about 50-60%. That means forecasters believed that in that you basically had a 50-50 shot at getting some measurable rainfall during the forecasted period.

I have worked at KICKS 105 for over 30 years, and every day for most of those years I pass by Chambers Park on my way to work, and when I'm heading home from work. I've gone there on many occasions just to sit and enjoy my lunch. I like the numerous huge shade trees and the serenity that the park offers.

Add Nacogdoches County to the quickly growing list of counties across Texas that have put burn bans in place. Today (Friday, July 1st), the Nacogdoches County Commissioner's Court held a special meeting at which they voted to enact a county-wide burn ban. Effective immediately, all outdoor burning is prohibited in...

When you live in Lufkin you don't recognize the wonders around you every day. I recently asked my Facebook friends what the seven wonders of Lufkin were. They came up with many answers, and it was hard to narrow it down to just seven. Looking at their answers it leads one to mull over what a wonder really is.

With "Country On," Luke Bryan is speaking directly to the blue-collar fans who pay to see him live every weekend. The country-rock anthem doesn't name names, but it calls out under-appreciated professions and gives each a little urging. Farmers, cowboys, truckers, bartenders, fireman, Music City guitar pickers and the men...

Dustin Lynch is celebrating summer with a buoyant new song, “Fish in the Sea." The feel-good track is all about having a good time and “bringing party mode to the beach,” as Lynch shares on social media. It opens with the sound of waves crashing and a...

As we wave goodbye to June and usher in July, it's almost time to say those three words that cause some people to shiver, and not because they're cold. We are less than a month away in some school districts from teachers being called back in for those work days leading up to the new school year. Then, there are other districts where the students still have almost eight weeks before the first day of class.

Growing up in Texas my family and I have lived in many a manufactured home. I was brought home to one after being born, and so was my son. What you get for the money is amazing. Back in the day, you could get a slot in King's Row in Lufkin for $50 a month. They even mowed the lawn for you.

Tim McGraw is one of the biggest names in country music, but to three young women, he's just Dad. The country singer and his wife Faith Hill are parents to daughters Gracie, 25, Maggie, 23, and Audrey, 20 and just like any father out there, McGraw couldn't be more proud of them.
