Today, Sat, Oct. 21, 2006 in Adair Co., KY: Huge day here

Good morning! It's another glorious Adair County morning. Check events for complete details on what's happening today. Big events: 1) Today is the Adair County equivalent of Fancy Farm, with the Breeding Fire Department's Chili Supper and Stump Speaking. 2) Adair County's PRIDE free trash dumping at the Transfer Station is in its last day. The City of Columbia's starts Monday, with dumpsters at the Fairgrounds. 3) Lindsey's Homecoming is in its second day, with reunions starting at 8:30, a Homecoming Parade, and more. To see the schedule, Click Here And this morning, the Trinity UMC UMW has an eat hearty-donate generously ham and much more breakfast until 10:30am. 4) On the performing arts scene, Machismo's second performance is at the Dream Depot this evening. Last weekend's show was sold out.
Adv: Today's Events are brought to you by HUDDLE HOUSE, across KY 210 from Wal-Mart, Campbellsville, KY. Join us for great food. Breakfasts are served 24/7/365, along with the mouth-watering lunch and dinner entrees. Eat with home folks. You never know who you'll run into from Adair County at the HUDDLE HOUSE. Gaylon & Phyllis Yarberry, owners

Traffic and parking. Enjoy Downtown Columbia and the shops in the Well Walk Quadrant of the Square this weekend. There's no court today, no school traffic through town. To check Adair County Court docket, click on Kentucky Court of Justice or Go to Quick Links.

Fall color: The trees are at a wonderful peak of color. If you're on systems overload from all the frenetic harvest time events, it may be a good time to chill out, put $5 worth of gas in the tank, and take a leisurely loop on unexplored Adair County roads. Make your own Nothing Weekend. No event. No commitment. Just you and your mini-van and a little cash and a digital camera in your pocket. Map optional. GPS if you must (but Adair County may be more fun if you are lost). Be your own tour guide. Have a Graze Adair County progressive dinner.

We went in search of Campbell Ridge, using male bonehead reckoning, yesterday. Didn't find it. The drive along KY 206 was a foretaste of heaven, Friday. We looped from Millerfield to Ella, re-crossed KY 206, then went down Neat Hollow Road through Little Cake. Since Millerfield, Linda's mother, Geniece Marcum, who is here putting together a book of her stories--she's a writer right up there with--Pete Walker, James Still, Jason Harmon, and Adair County's own Mark Twain--had kept asking where Campbell Ridge is located. It's ignorance an Adair Countian shouldn't admit, but I did. Then I remembered that the merciful thing might have been to lie. All that was need was a memorable setting, and there are hundreds along the way, for Mrs. Marcum to have had a delightful impression of Campbell Ridge in her mind.

Again, you don't have to go to Vermont, Brown County, or Gatlinburg to see red and brown yellow, orange and green-flecked leave; Those places don't have the equal of the Gentle Grandeur that's right here. And no place earth has better country store cuisine. The fromagiers at almost every food establishment in rural Adair County can slice sandwiches from both kinds of cheese, American and cheddar. We're not telling where to find it yet. You better off critiquing the stores yourself.

Saturday, October 21, 2006 Election Countdown: The fall election is just 17 days away, from today. Absentee voters can vote by machine in the County Court Clerk's office.
