LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - This summer, a bunch of local kids will have new bikes to ride around town.
Students at Combre-Fondel Elementary School received bikes this morning as part of the Black Heritage Festival’s Annual Kid Zone. Typically, the giveaway happens every year, but due to the pandemic and hurricanes, it looked a lot different and took on a whole new meaning for the students.
