Epicurean Great Dane: Caesar Tested the new label 2013-08-03 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square - Photo by Ed Waggener. Caesar, the slightly larger of the to brothers has a new gig at the Farmers Market on the Square. He's been in training with David Moore, standing by the 235 pound Great Dane puppy dog, who's been bringing him to the Farmers Market to act as popcorn ambassador for Tucker's Station Farms, a job he's held - and still holds - and performs with exemplary distinction. Now Caesar is taste testing culinary wares around the Square. Last week Caesar was given a Jay Cox country ham biscuit, down it in one gulp, and pronounced it superb. His brother, Lucky, in front, is a shy, dignified dog and will take no part in Paula Deen theatrics. Both Lucky and Caesar are rescue dogs. Though actually only brothers by adoption, the two dogs have strong family bonds now, and lead very happy pampered lives, except may when they visit Tucker's Station, where police like discipline is imposed, and canines lead a dog's life, not even able to watch a little Tv after the 10pmCT, Barbara and Wayne Armitage fiat imposing light's out at that time. However, before anyone calls animal abuse, they at least have air conditioned lodges, and the rest of the day they get to watch approved Tv shows as much as they like.

Perfect tomatoes at Farmers Market on the Square 2013-08-03 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square - Photo By Ed Waggener. Darrell Bunnell of Coview Farms was offering these perfect sized, perfect tasting tomatoes this morning, Saturday, August 3, 2013 at the Farmers Market on the Square. They're a bargain compared to some of the brought on, cardboard tasting tomatoes in some stores. I bought just three of the former yesterday. Paid over $1 a piece and the difference in taste was astounding. These, with some of Darrell Bunnell's fresh cucumber made a salad with the very best taste of summer. Sam Avery, who is performing at with the Spiritual Warriors this morning, shared a salad this morning, at breakfast downtown, and agreed. Right next to the Perfect Red tomatoes are perfect green ones. A shopper from Virginia, ahead in the queue at the stall, was happy to get green tomatoes. Said she couldn't find them at Farmers Markets back in Virginia. There may still be some of these. Mr. Bunnell brought plenty. The market is open until 12pm noon CT, today.

Two of 26 Patriot Guard Riders cross the Square at the outset of a 10 mile route carry U.S. Army Veteran Bobby Gene Pike to his final resting place at Bear Wallow Cemetery. Along the way, PGR member Joe Hare recalls, every single oncoming car stopped to show respect. In four years of escorts, all over Kentucky, he says, it was a first.
