Photos with the story
The Fourth Annual Gradyville Get-Together was held Sunday, December 11, at 2005, at D&F Grocery in Gradyville, Adair County, KY.

A large crowd was again in attendance.


Events officially started at 1:00 p.m., with lots of food. The groaning board, at 12:30 was already groaning with turkey and side dishes from the finest cooks in Western Adair County or anywhere.

Santa arrived at 2:00 p.m. and used the Gradyville/Nell Voting House for his headquarters. "We thought it would be easier to get good photographs over there," Frances Salyers of D&F said.

A number of candidates were on hand, including local magisterial candidates J.M. Shelley and and Perry Reeder, and Adair County Judge-Executive candidates Ann Melton and Joyce Reliford. Joyce Reliford said she'll file Wednesday, December 15, 2005.

Dr. Hugh Smith drove over from Russell County. Jimmy Reliford was here, and most of the neighborhood was on hand for the the Photograph of the Whole Town, taken at 3:30.
