The Feese Flower Garden, Greensburg Road, Columbia, KY - I 2013-10-06 - Greensburg Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Tommy Bailey. A lot of here, a little of there Plants usually associated with the sub-tropics and those so familiar to Kentucky backyards enhance this scene. The lava stone cover is accented by the very traditional - and very artfully arranged - geodes. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

BAVFD - Big player in SC KY 1st response effort/Brandon Harvey 2013-10-06 - Caldwell Road, Green County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. It's never a surprise to see familiar Adair County faces when catastrophic fires occur anywhere in the area. Above Brandon Harvey, Training Officer for department and its chief grants writer on the scene when a spectacular Friday, September 6, 2013, residential blaze (See Fire destroys huge structure in the Haskinsville Community) on Caldwell Ridge Road in Green County drew firefighters from Green, Taylor and Adair County. He's the son of BAVFD Chief Terry Harvey, a full time Campbellsville-Taylor County Fire Deptment employee, and still finds time to coordinate media publicity including promotions for events such as the Chili Suppers and Fish Fries for which the department is famed.

BAVFD 2013 Chili Supper - It's all about a safer S. Adair 2013-10-06 - 290 Fire Station Lane, Breeding KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. These three pieces of firefighting apparatus are just a small part of the super-well equipped Breeding Area Fire Department's inventory of modern equipment. (See Apparatus at the BAVFD website). Though most of these have come through grantsmanship of the first order - Chili Suppers and Fish Fries aren't the main source of big ticket items - the social events are a big part of giving the organization a margin of financial advantage, give a chance to showcase progress, and underpin the social strengths of a thriving rural America small community. Even without those attributes, perhaps the best thing for casual chili supper goers the event earns the ultimate Adair County accolade, "A good time was had by all." - EW. PS - The impact of the scene enhanced by the firehouse's location to the highest point in Adair County, as suggested in Peakbagger.com.

Sheriff Harrison Moss, Firefighter Jeremy Garmon 2013-10-06 - 290 Fire Station Lane, Breeding KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. You can be fair certain you're at a premier event if Sheriff Harrison Moss is a early and long staying guest for the evening, as he was last evening at the Breeding Area Volunteer Fire Department Chili Supper. With him is one of the hosts, Firefighter/EMT Jeremy Garmon. Sheriff Moss also announced his intention to run for re-election next year, another reason to be at the chili supper - though this year's chili supper is only a precursor to what is Adair County's equivalent to Fancy Farm, when almost every serious candidate finds attending, and taking a turn at the mike, mandatory.
