Farmer's Market on the Square: Know Before You Go!

The Farmer's Market on the Square is open every Saturday from 8am-1pmCT, at the Adair Annex Parking Lot, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY

Here's today's Know Before You Go report, for April 19, 2014. The market is really building, we are getting new vendors signed up every week. The week looks good - even the weather is cooperating. Next week is our grand opening and I think it's going to be great. I will send you some articles after tomorrow. I think that we will get everyone's attention.

Special Guest this week: Green River Arts, 106 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY. Helping residents, especially the children, of Adair and surrounding counties to find an outlet for their artistic skills be they music, writing, painting or even physical arts such as kung fu or drama. Celebrating the rich and diverse culture we have!

Here's a few of the vendors you'll find at this week's market.

Saturday Downtown: Window Dressing



2014-04-19 - Bank of Columbia, 144 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.
Window Dressing is still a big part of the scene in Downtown Columbia. The Bank of Columbia is displaying this promotion for the ADAIR Band's Concert. Have to wonder whether they're calling in a high dollar window dressing from New York City or if some hugely talented local person is creating the wonderful street art. Downtown is gorgeous this morning, and it's a mini country fair, the some Downtown Shops open, the Barber Shop and the Farmer's Market on the Square open today with what could be called a Book Fair at the Market. With at least 2 authors and some of their books there, one of whom is on the Adair County Primary Center Site Based Decision Making Council, in case you're needing to fuss with someone about something.

2014-04-19 - Adair Annex - Photo by Ed Waggener. Adair County's Most Prolific Author, historian Michael Watson, has a book stall at the Farmers Market on the Square, with a few of his 69 published works available, including his authoritative two volume Adair County histories. The posed photo is Renae Watson doing her best Nancy Reagan adoring gaze; pretty good and, even though she had not had her morning coffee, she was not noticeably irritable. - EW

FM2: Sofa bike makes appearance



2014-04-19 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. *RecumbentingGerald Holt from way off in Little Cake/Neat Hollow area/Greater Ella/Greater Neatsville/Greater Purdy was in town on his sofa bike. And, though it looks like he's asleep at the wheel and doing a wheelie a the same time, he's actually the poster boy of bike safety. If there is a law against riding a sofa bike in Columbia while wearing Google Glass, he isn't: That's just a rear-view mirror on this specs. They just look high tech. Recumbent bikes have become more and more popular in the area. Gerald Holt says he knows of seven now. The Farmers Market on the Square attracts cyclists. Last year one rider on his way to Tennessee stopped just to see what as happening. "Is some kind of a county fair?" he asked. Truth be told, in a way, it is. The market is open 8am-1pm each of 30 Saturdays, from April 5 through October 30, 2014.
