New Year's Eve came on Sunday, December 31, 2006, and Adair County was making history. From the December 31, 2006 edition of ColumbiaMagazine.com:
The first woman county judge in Adair County history takes oath of office today at 2:00pm CT. Judge Ann Melton will then administer Kentucky's ancient and solemn oath of office to City of Columbia and Adair County elected officials. Judge Melton had two very progressive administrations. CM 31 Dec 2006.
The photographic and journal account of that big day was carried the next day in CM: Inauguration Day: Sunday, December 31, 2006 with a huge photo album by Pen Waggener and Ed Waggener. It was a huge affair. Looking back, there are so many faces which have change little in the decade which passed. Some have changed dramatically and fortunes have been widely varied. It was one of the biggest inaugurations - as an Event - in Adair County history. - EW
