Feedback: Another theory on the origin of Fair Play Answering: Call for a Historian in the House for the Origin of Fair Play,asked by Charles Marshburn, apparently to crib for his History 101 in the Adair County Assimilation Academy Ed, I have always been proud to say that I was from Fairplay--being raised about 1/10th of a mile from downtown Fairplay and being the niece of long-serving mayor, Amon Spoon--Fairplay has always been and will always be a special place to me. I must admit that some of this pride came from the fact that I believed that the Fairplay community was named after the famous race horse "Fair Play". For those readers who might not know Fair Play,he was a very successful racehorse and he sired many winners including one of the greatest racehorses of all time, Man O'War. While attending UK, I always felt close to home as Fair Play is buried at Elmendorf Farm in Lexington and I must admit that I paid regular homage to his sport at Keenland Racetrack! s/Teresa Hadley Bethel See also, Author/historian Chris Bennett's theory on the origin of "Fair Play," or "Fairplay" one of the triplet capitols--t'others being Cundiff/Melson Ridge and Glens Fork/Glensfork/Glenville/Hardscratch--of mighty Adair County Magisterial District 3, represented by Squire Sammy Baker. Cundiff is where the magisterial mansion is, at the residence of Squire Baker, and therefore the seat of government in District 3. Fairplay is the oilfield and agricultural capitol, and Glens Fork is the dining & retail mercantile capitol, and a town of many churches. -EW This story was posted on 2009-01-14 16:06:06
