Dear Hot Dog Festival & Prairie Creek Park:

We need to talk.

Every year we show up ready to party, and every year… we get the same three bands playing the same three songs.

It seems like a majority of the artists this year at Prairie Creek Park are country. Not everyone likes country. And those of us who don’t —really don’t.

We’re just saying… let’s aim higher than “Rick’s Cousin’s Classic Rock Revival (featuring someone who was almost on The Voice).”

We believe in you, Frankfort.

BUT.

Can we talk about the music lineup for Hot Dog Festival for a sec?

What if — just once — we skipped the 14th cover of “Sweet Home Alabama”
… and used that dog dock budget to bring in someone who’s actually been on the radio since 1986?

Nothing wild. We’re not asking for The Eagles. But maybe something between “local cousin with a Bluetooth speaker” and “surprise REO Speedwagon tribute band.”

We love you. We really do. We love dogs. Dogs are great. But are they buying beer and merch?

No.

We are.

Frankfort deserves to dance. Let’s make the Hot Dog Festival hot again.

Look, Prairie Creek Park is beautiful. The lawn is perfect. The stage is awesome. But why is it always the same 4 bands?

Give us someone who’s at least been Googled this century.

Sincerely,

KNS Radio — fighting for better festival music since… well, right now.

🗞️ Got a spine, a voice, and something to say?
Then get off the sidelines and start writing for KNS Radio.

We’re not some polished corporate newsroom.
We’re local. We’re independent. We’re scrappy.
And we’re looking for writers who give a damn.

👊 No pay (yet). No fluff. Just real stories, real people, and a platform that’s actually paying attention.

🧠 Get mentored by Kevin Keith — an industry pro who’s done the real work.
📢 Get your own byline and build your portfolio on the front lines of small-town news.
📈 Gain experience and actual exposure, not “visibility” promises from fake gigs.

If you’re tired of being talked over, come help us change the conversation.

💻 Email Kevin directly at

Let’s make noise. The right kind.

📰 Retired but still opinionated? Perfect. We’re hiring. (Sort of.)

KNS Radio is looking for retirees with stories to tell, time to spare, and no fear of ruffling a few feathers.
We can’t pay you (yet), but let’s be honest — you’re not doing it for the money. You’re doing it because:

You know how to spell.

You remember when newspapers mattered.

And you’ve got thoughts about how the city council is running things.

Write about the good, the bad, and the mysteriously long drive-thru lines.
Get your own byline, free training from industry pro Kevin Keith, and maybe even become mildly famous at the senior center.

Email Kevin at [email protected] or just call us like it’s 1993. We love that.

🧓🏼👵🏼 You’ve raised kids, paid taxes, survived Y2K, and still know how to write in cursive.

Now it’s time to write the news.

KNS Radio is looking for smart, seasoned, no-nonsense folks who are tired of watching the town fall apart on Facebook.

✍️ You’ve got time. We’ve got a platform.

Here’s the deal:
💰 No pay (yet — we’re working on it).
📣 But you will get your own byline.
📚 Free mentorship from radio vet Kevin Keith (he knows his stuff).
📰 And a shot to tell the stories no one else is covering — the right way.

If you’ve ever yelled at the TV during a city council meeting, this job was made for you!

Just email Kevin in ALL CAPS, we’ll still read it.

🤔 “Why advertise on KNS Radio?”

Because your Facebook ad just got buried under:
• A casserole recipe
• A conspiracy theory
• And someone’s dog dressed as Elvis.

📻 On KNS, your ad isn’t just seen — it’s heard, remembered, and maybe even danced to.
🎧 No scroll, no skip — just real listeners and real results.

Let’s make your brand louder than Aunt Cheryl’s meatloaf.
