I tell ya' what, in my ongoing quest to Broadcast The Good, I feel like this "Rise Up" Remix thing might be a Friday tradition!  It's so good to hear everyone from Southern Illinois calling in to the #KiTC Morning Show, with a simple declaration... "We will rise above it"!  I believe that!  And, I know you do to!  If you called into the show this morning, be listening for your voice!  Next Friday, let's do it again!

Tanner Sheldon, aka "Turtle Boi", is 14-years-old from Harrisburg, IL, and is a master scuba diver.  He is also extremely passionate about keeping Southern Illinois beautiful!  He regularly spends days picking up bags of trash from the country roads throughout Saline County.  I had a chance to talk with Tanner on this morning's Kent in the Country Morning Show,  and he was able to showcase his "Earth Day Challenge" for 2022.  Starting April 1st, and running through May 1st, take a picture with a sack of trash that you've picked up, share it with the hastag, #turtleboi, and you could win some pretty cool prizes!  CLICK HERE for the Turtle Boi official facebook page for more details!  Here's the interview from today's show, Tanner will tell ya' more!

It’s the Pledge of Allegiance Kid-of-the-Day!  Now parents, you can send in a video of your child doing to the pledge to our New Country Z100 Facebook page!  Please include their name, town, and where they go to school!  We’ll use the audio from your video message to share your kid’s pledge with everyone listening!

Today it's Thursday, January 7th, 2021, and our pledge comes to us from 11-year-old Sedona Prior from Ewing, IL!
