Rev. Lois Hansen was positioned in front of the 3-WI radio station in Brainerd on Thursday afternoon during the third annual Honk for Hugs event. Hansen, organizer of the local event, has helped with the creation of 10,000 neck coolers to be sent to military personnel serving in high-temperature areas. Every Tuesday for the last three years, volunteers at Pine River Methodist Church sew the "hugs" to be shipped to soldiers. Brainerd Dispatch/Steve Kohls
