Beautiful young cat practices soft skills at the Circle R 2016-11-04 - Circle R Restaurant, 712 Russell Road, Columbia, KY. - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). One of Columbia's great cats has been managing greeter functions at the Circle R Restaurant. It is young, sleek, and poised with the haughty aloofness which cats automatically attain after two meals. This cat appears not to have missed any. Almost everyone who attends the restaurant wants to talk to it, when it deigns to do so. And most mention something about wanting to take it home, if is, indeed, available. Sorry, it wouldn't pose or talk to us, and we didn't get its name, unless, perhaps, it is "Gato Del Sol," if that name is not taken. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Adair Co. Fairgrounds Thu 3 Nov 2016: Main Grandstand is gone 2016-11-04 - Adair County Fairgrounds, 413 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). The Main Grandstand at the Adair County Fairground is now only a huge memory for the hundreds of thousands who will remember the structure as much larger than the small concrete pad remaining make it appear.. Only a small section of bleachers are left to be removed. Memories of fair food served from small white building left of the remaining stands will cause many to pause and remember the legends of the concession business whose great hamburgers and country ham was eagerly anticipated when fair time drew near. In the background is VFW Post 6097's hall, which, along with the out-of-frame monument, will be moved to new quarters in Green Hills. At this point, the Jaycees are still scrambling to find a place to stage the 2017 Adair County Fair. - Ed Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
