Cane Valley crafts mall for grandparents and collectors 2013-06-15 - Fountain Plaza, Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. A perfect place for a devoted Mema and collectors, was Joseph left and Trilby Vance's Sonny's Woodcrafts, coupled in a tent mall with fellow artisan Jerry Watson, center dubbed the Cane Valley Mall at today's June Dairy Day/Farmer's Market on the Square. Every kid had to try one of the whimsical heritage toys by Sonny Vance - pull a toy train or big wooden semi truck and trailer, or just walk a truck or watch a monkey shinny down a stick. The Mema - Linda Waggener - in the foreground was looking for stocking stuffers for Christmas 2013 for four grandchildren, and settled a custom made ones. Jerry Watson, also of Cane Valley, crafts beautiful bowls - no two alike, and was getting steady interest. The Trilby of Joseph & Trilby Vance, was present on the Square, but away from her station at the time the photo was taken. It's been a beautiful day for the combined event. The Square is closed off until 3pmCT this evening. - CM Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Good Samaritan protecting cow is a star 2013-06-15 - Bliss Hill, Edmonton Road, Columbia, KY - Photo night cellphone photo by Sandy Janes. "As we were driving home,", Sandy Janes said, "we spotted a man protecting a Holstein cow which had wandered onto the road. It turned out to be Travis Coomer! He was also protecting us from the stray cow. It was returned, safely, to its owner." Travis Coomer is the George Clooney look-alike on Backyard Oil, the Discovery Channel hit reality show. If you see him and tell him what a Good Samaritan he don't be surprised if he just returns an "Aw shucks" grin. He gets that all the time - being called a Good Samaritan.
