Tracy Wirtz wants you to know all about Bark In The Park: All proceeds are directed to Lafayette Animal Aid's mission: to rescue dogs and cats and provide them with medical care and shelter until a loving adoptive home can be found for them. Lafayette Animal Aid is a no-kill shelter. This is a great event to bring the entire family, including your dogs.

From Tracy Wirtz: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is very near and dear to my heart. We all have some organization or charity (hopefully) that we support or that holds special meaning for us. Right now, there are a number of children in Acadiana who are patients there. One is my little friend Ella.

I'm usually one of those people who are incensed by the Christmas merchandise being out before Halloween is even here. But, this year, I have a confession to make. The day after Halloween, I had a particularly strong urged to climb the attic ladder and start pulling out my snow village.

From Tracy Wirtz: This year's Atchafalaya Basin Festival features musical performances by Nik-L Beer, Joe Douglas, Al Berard Family Band, Geno Delafose and French Rockin Boogie, Hunter Courville and Cajun Fever, Jambalaya featuring D.L. Menard, and Helen Boudreaux and Friends...

This past weekend we marveled at the United States Air Force demonstration team the Thunderbirds. Our friend Tracy Wirtz even got to experience a ride with the Thunderbirds. There is another extremely talented group of pilots that represent the United States Navy, they are the Blue Angels. Wanna go for a ride?

What do you think the effects of five times the force of gravity would be on your body? Tracy Wirtz from KATC and 97.3 The Dawg found that out when she took off with the USAF Thunderbirds.

This weekend the skies of Acadiana will be rocking with the sights and sounds of freedom as the Sertoma Airshow takes flight. The stars of the show, The United States Air Force Thunderbirds! Tickets for the show are still available and just to give you a taste of the only kind of plane I could ever fly, we bring you this incredible paper airplane flight.

This is a video that would make our TV friend Tracy Wirtz and our ventriloquist friend Jeff Dunham very proud. Sometimes in the world of TV the boys in the booth point the camera at the wrong person, watch how this perceptive anchorwoman responds.

I am a chicken. Really. That may actually be an insult to chickens because I can't do anything cool like lay an egg, but you know what I mean. When I was growing up, my grandmother lived across the street from us. If my mom asked me to go to her house at night, I'd make her stand at the door and watch me...

From KATC's Tracy Wirtz: Yahoo Shine! posted this info about the six worst candies to give out for Halloween based on fat and calories. A few thoughts automatically came to mind. First, Baby Ruth and Twizzlers?!?!? On the NO NO list?!?!? Say it ain't so...

Without fail, my son will tell you that his favorite food is gumbo. Next to Christmas, his favorite event is the Rice Capitol Championship Gumbo Cookoff. He asks me every year when it is. I buy him a $5 wrist band and turn him loose. Cher little man, he is in roux heaven...

There are a lot of things you can conceal when you are on television. A cast on your hand and lower arm is not one of them. I mean, I guess you can hide your hand under the desk but then it would become obvious that you are hiding something, kinda like the kid in mid-chew trying to convince his mom he didn't eat the last cookie. Anyway, it's no secret. I had surgery on my right wrist area on July

The following is a true tale written by our good friend and occaisional accomplice Tracy Wirtz, this girl loves her technology! I LOVE TELEVISION! I'm not just talking about my job in tv, I mean tv shows. And I like LOTS of them. Smart, well-written, dry humor shows are my favorite. I'm not a huge fan of the sitcom. Cop shows REALLY get my juice flowing. And even during the "dry" summer

OK... maybe it is just me. I ran across this article and thought, FINALLY! But then I read the rest of it and thought, ugh. So, I guess there may have been those folks in "my day" that we watched just for the sake of watching. But here's the thing... is it just me or has there been, in the last 15 years or so, a wave of people who get the spotlight just because... I have no idea why! Rea

katc tv Loren and "Shells" are friends. That's just the simple truth of it. Loren is also a published writer and her friend is the topic of her latest book that will come out in August titled "Meet Loren's Special Friend Michelle." Michelle has a missing palate and has trouble speaking. She also has asthma and a learning disability, but that doesn't matter to Loren.

YAY, LAFAYETTE!!! The "Fun Finders" officially declared Lafayette the home of the best food in America and I was SO happy theychose us! Now, us natives already knew this to be true so this was simply affirmation, right? I had the pleasure of interviewing the Parr's on GMA in early July. They were a lovely couple from Florida and she told me they were not told what category they would hav

Grandparents will completely understand why I GUSH about my grandbaby. I call her my "Gigibaby" because she calls me Gigi. She turned 2 in March and is the apple of my eye, the moon in my sky. When she was born, I swear, my brain just OOZED out of my ears and I went totally stupid. Again, grandparents know! I love my children more than I love oxygen but this little girl... there are no w

Last weekend in this space, Tracy Wirtz told you about how she was looking forward to seeing the new Harry Potter movie. Now having seen the film, here is her review:

This Friday it's the Royal Wedding of Prince William and the very lovely Kate Middleton. The world will be watching and many will be in attendance vicariously hosting "wedding breakfasts" while they watch on television. So if you were going to "The Wedding" what would be proper attire?

I can tell you this the liquid protein I take every night has made a huge difference in the shape of my body and that is without a huge fitness push. However if you are looking to really tone up, shape up and make a big impression on the beach we have the answers to the questions you've been asking.
