The Radio People-owned KLSM-FM Vicksburg, Miss., held an annual
Chili for Children competition, a fundraising event aimed at assisting
the abused, neglected and homeless children of Warren County and
surrounding areas. "We jumped at the chance to cook up something

which raised $4,000, shattering KLSM-FM’s previous record of $2,400.
