Thanksgiving is over: It’s time for Sipping and Shopping! Cyber Monday gives way to the march toward Christmas and are in Hanukkah. There are many opportunities to give not only to friends and family, but also to those in need. Tuesday is Giving Tuesday. Many of our local businesses are doing toy drives too.
We’re # 1! Thanks to you, dear readers of the Coachella Valley Independent. The accolades are piling up for the new KGAY 106.5 and our stellar personalities. Congrats to John Taylor, DJ Galaxy and DJ Eric Ornelas! KGAY 106.5 was voted top radio station this year and we’re “thankful”. We just learned of another local awards show and competition, the “Strut Awards 2022” where your truly, GayDesertGuide.LGBT and KGAY are also nominated.
