Scenic Adair Co., KY: A beautiful Sunday ahead 2012-08-12 - 2267 Jones Chapel RD, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Saturday, August 11, 2012, was a perfect Summer day. Cloud formations in a spectacular summer sky, with gentle breezes and moderate warm temperatures had residents on the road. Trilby and Sonny Vance said that wanderlust and the need to visit folks and Greensburg and Campbellsville took them there earlier in the day, and that the time was so enjoyable, they made a second sightseeing tour in the afternoon - and still had time and energy for a night time event watching local talent. Sunday, August 12, 2012, is starting off with the same call - today with a call to worship for the majority. The scene above is of one of Adair County's prettiest and lovingly maintained churches. It's not the most pleasing angle, but one dictated by the sun - and by an insistent friend who said the picture had to be taken. We're hoping that everybody who can will be out today, enjoying South Central Kentucky. And if a photo is taken as the congregants enter or leave a church today, we hope it will be submitted for use on our Directory of Churches page. -EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Mr. Shirley claims to be 90 years old, actually, it was hard to convince the crowd, many of whom are, as Mr. Shirley is,  diehard Dream Depot devotees. follow Dream Depot performers at the many venues where members of the Dream Depot cast perform.  Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
