Scenic Adair Co., KY: Fall color on Hughes Road 2012-10-13 - Hughes Road, The Flatwoods, Adair County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. If you're in the South of Adair County, KY, today the colors are somewhat more spectacular on new KY 61 South from The Flatwoods south. But Hughes Road off Wheeler Hill Road (used to be Burkesville Road, still the main street of The Flatwoods Business and Historic District) offers a slower paced step back in time look at Adair County, and with flecking of peak color for some species before nature's brightest palette of red, yellow, orange and evergreen autumn colors appear.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Band Bingo Hotdog 2012-10-13 - 55 Shady Lane, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The ADAIR Band serves what may be the most generous toppings in the hotdog business - and for not very much money. This whopper and large soft drink came in for about $4 - too anxious to eat to check the tab, and too impatient to wait for a hamburger, which the concession staff says is even better. Huge crowds have shown up for Band Bingo - the count was around 200 Tuesday, October 9, 2012 and players swarmed in from every adjoining county and at least one was from out of state, from Celina, Tennessee. It's quite a show, whether you duck in for a sandwich or stay to play. Now every Tuesday and Friday night, from 5pm-10pmCT, at the Adair Bingo Hall, 55 Shady Lane, Columbia, KY. Net proceeds from the events go to the ADAIR Band Boosters charitable causes. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Seventh of eight county storm sirens erected last week 2012-10-12 - Pike Pike, Greater Bliss, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Property owner Vicky Pike and Adair Emergency Disaster Manager Greg Thomas watch as workmen for West Shore Services lift the seventh of eight storm warning sirens installed by the company last week in Adair County. Tim Shuck is the opeator on the truck. Others with the West Shore Services crew were Ray Brand, the crew leader; Fred Skaff, and Paul Christiensen. The location is the second one drilled at the site. The first one, nearer the corner, was abandoned after hitting rock at six feet. The 50-ft pole holding the siren needs to be 7 feet in the ground, and West Shore, a sticklers for doing it right, likes to go down 8 feet, which they were able to do the second time. As of yesterday, October 11, 2012, the sirens still weren't activated or tested. Miz Victoria thinks her well adjusted cows - not so skittish as some she knows about - will be able to handle the siren blasts with decorum and serenity.
