Mark R. Bess will settle in Adair Co., KY in just 4 years

About: "Barbara Armitage asks Mark Bess Whats the wait"

To born again Adair Countians,
former Floridians Holler and Armitage, via CM:


Thanks for the encouragement. I would leave today if I could. I still have some years to go (4) until my time is complete. You know, I have been to three county fairs and a goat roping contest and the only bad thing I can say about Kentucky is that, "I'm not in it." Guess I should have listened to daddy when he said , "Don't squat with your spurs on and never drink down stream from the herd." I hope to meet you all one day in beautiful down town Columbia.

CM Site Events Policy: If ads paid elsewhere, it's commercial here

ColumbiaMagazine.com's management will do everything possible to promote civic, church, school, and benefits on a Free Publicity Fair Play policy.

It's Free and it is extensive, but there are a few limits and conditions:

The announcement is posted in 1) CM News on the Main Page, 2) CM Benefits & Fundraisers, 3) in CM Events. 4) On the day of the event, there will be a brief announcement again in the Today Feature on the Main Page.

If your event has paid advertising, anywhere, in any form - print, poster, radio, television, t-shirt, temporary signs, cable, or other internet it is treated as a commercial event at ColumbiaMagazine.com and does not qualify for our comprehensive publicity package or any free publicity.

Our policy is designed to make getting information out to the biggest audience in a concise, easy to use, totally free or very inexpensive manner. It is designed to let fund raising go to the cause it is meant to promote. It is meant to get attendance at local non-profit functions at no cost or at the lowest possible cost.

It is not meant to save on advertising budgets only to have the funds transferred to other competing media.

Additional publicity is available as paid advertising but is not required or even suggested. The basic four part publicity package listed above is Free, predicated, of course, on fair play and the assumption that no paid advertising of any kind is bought elsewhere, in any form - print, poster, radio, television, t-shirt, temporary signs, cable, or other internet - without comparable additional advertising on ColumbiaMagazine.com
