Ralph Waggener: Supports Arts Fair in Old Courthouse idea About: Joyce M. Coomer presents a splendid idea for use of Courthouse Click on headline for complete commentary By Ralph Roy Waggener Personal commentary Joyce Coomer makes a good point. Anything that would bring some use to the old Court House should be considered. A lot of theater groups should really enjoy a place like the court room for plays or singing. Shows like knife or gun exchange shows, art, talent and this could be a starting place to bring a lot of different events to this mostly empty building. I especially like the part where these artists would maybe buy Business Cards or promo materials that eother Joyce and Greg or South Central could profit from with some extra business. The Economic Development group say they are going to help existing business and we qualify as existing, because we have been here 36 years and are yet to get anything from this group. But of course we have never asked so I'm all for this project. I can sing Happy Birthday, but there is most likely better singing talent than me. Junior and Donna Fees and their group of Gospel Singers would have an excellent place to perform as well a lot of talent we don't know about. This is an idea whose time has come! Old courtroom would also to be a place to speak one's piece This old court room, not being a court room now would be a great place for people to come and speak their piece. It is not run by the County Government or City Government and people could come and speak their piece; unlike the City Council meeting or the County Court where there's a set agenda and you have to ask to speak, you could be allowed to say whatever you have on your mind. Good things that we could do and how we could do them, without getting tied to a matching Government Grant, start doing things that a community can do without having to pay outrageous wages and without having to hire a $350.00 per hour lawyer to do something so simple as to run a water line! Yep, we need to use the old courthouse more. One after thought: All organizations have to have rules, and meetings in the Historic Adair County Court house should have one rule and one rule only: A speaker must speak on how their idea can work only. No one can complain about what doesn't work - only how to make it work, and that's it, period. Again thanks Ralph Roy This story was posted on 2015-08-01 20:02:02
