For the fifth year in a row Kellen Kaasa has presented his friends of the band Little Big Town with the year’s R-word shirts. At the band’s concert in November at U.S. Bank Stadium they posed for a picture with the new R-word shirts on with Kaasa in support of the campaign. March 1 is National Spread the Word to End the Word Day. Kaasa will sell the R-word shirts at Hy-Vee in Albert Lea from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday. Shirts are $10.
