Sulphur Well, KY Third Sunday eve, Saturday Aug. 15, 2009



2009-08-16 - Sulphur Well, Metcalfe Co., KY - Photo by Linda Reid Marcum Waggener.
THE TRADITION OF THIRD SUNDAY IN AUGUST HOMECOMING continues in the once famous health resort, Sulphur Well, my hometown. Several years ago, local homemakers expanded the event to include singing and booths on the Saturday evening before Third Sunday and that's pictured here with long shadows from the westerly sunset. Folks moved from the park across from the store and restaurant by way of a footbridge into the old dancehall grove where the singing, barbecue selling and booths continue through today. The draw which made the little town famous, the artesian sulphur well, shown at the far right, still draws young and old to come, take a sip of the water bubbling up up out of the pipe, make a bitter face and comment that it tastes like raw eggs.

Sulphur Well, KY: The River and its cliff side poet



2009-08-16 - Sulphur Well, KY - Photo by Linda Reid Marcum Waggener.
Many of the reunion goers today, Sunday, August 16, 2009, at Sulphur Well's Third Sunday in August will look up the East Fork of the Little Barren River at Sulphur Well, and remember Sulphur Well's famed cliffside dwelling poet, Uncle Matt Scroggy, shown in the right photo in his aerie. Click to read his "Poem of Old Sulphur Well." The poem chronicles some of the rough and tumble times of the village, as in this couplet, "They used to bootleg liquor, and raise all kinds of hell, They ran the devil o'er the stump in damned old Sulphur Well." Today, it is pretty righteous, refined town.

Third Sunday in August, Aug. 16, 2009: Aunt Lillian Scott



2009-08-17 - Sulphur Well, KY - Photo by Dr. Gary Lane.
Star Attraction at 3rd Sunday in August, 2009: Aunt Lillian Scott was a star attraction at the 3rd Sunday in August reunionat Sulphur Well. She will be 95 in September. She says going to 3rd Sunday in August has been a tradition since she was old enough to remember. This must be one of the oldest community gatherings in Kentucky, dating back more than 100 years. She says she has missed very few of these Sundays since she was a little girl. This Sunday I saw people I had not seen in many years. Some came from far away to gather with friends and family and most look forward to next year at 3rd Sunday in August. Photo and comments by Gary Lane, made Sunday, August 16, 2009 at Sulphur Well, KY.
