FM2 close up: Beautiful blackberries 2014-07-19 - Adair Annex Parking Lot, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne. Debbie & Danny Burris, at the D & D Longview Angus Farm booth, had a display which just makes a body hungry.

FM2 close up: I can vouch for Jay's BBQ tenderloin 2014-07-19 - Adair Annex Parking Lot, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne. I can vouch for the BBQ Tenderloin Sandwich I had at Jay's BBQ. I'm pretty sure I can vouch for the advice he was getting from my buddy Ralph Roy Waggener, left and his father, judging from the broad smile on Jay's face. LOL. Actually, Ralph and Mr. Cox were really well behaved. Ralph was waiting for his sandwich, and Mr. Cox makes frequent runs for Jay when he runs out of supplies. Jay must be doing something very right. He was very, very busy today. - Shamarie Claiborne Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
