Activity at Father Bowling's Park 2021-03-08 - Metcalfe County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The ducks were enjoying the sunny Sunday afternoon at the George K. Bowling Park in Edmonton. The sign by their pond reads, "A long time after I'm gone, the swings will still be swinging, the children will be playing, people who don't have homes can come by and have a place to stay and food will be given out." Father Bowling served in both Columbia and Edmonton Catholic Churches in the 1970s and his good works in both counties continue. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
