Happy Read Across America Day! Did you know that reading for just 30 minutes per day can improve the trajectory of a child's life? Today and every day, please encourage the children in your life to continue reading. It's a small habit... that makes a BIG difference!📖🌟

TRIVIA answer, for 2 tickets to Sunday in Cincy, PLUS $1k in spending cash: Nesby Glasgow and Derrick Hatchett each picked off Kenny Anderson in the final seven minutes on Oct. 2, 1983 to preserve a Colts 34-31 nail-biting victory. EDWARD HAYES will pick the winner!🙌🏈
