Adair County Fairs, A Brief History July 4, 2013, marks the start of two weeks of celebrating at the county fair. The Adair County Fair & Horse Show has a rich history, a chronicle - with a few hiatuses - which dates back to 1856, and, before that to a statewide organization fostering interest in the fairs and exhibitions throughout the Commonwealth, when a son of Columbia was one of the 13 vice presidents of the Kentucky State Agriculture Society. Historian Mike Watson has encapusulated the most important details, gleaned from his own vast knowledge and many printed sources, to write this timely story. The fair remains the premier reunion and homecoming event in Adair County. Adair County Fair & Horse Show July 4, 6, & 8-13, 2013 SCHEDULE By Mike Watson, Adair County historian Agriculture was the mainstay for the vast majority of Kentucky citizens in the 1800s. Since the early 1800s, agricultural meets, horse shows and general fairs had become a special interest of agricultural Kentucky. They began in the Bluegrass and spread across the state. To foster diversification and to bring new breeds and varieties into common use, agricultural fairs were promoted in the state as early as the 1830s. In April 1838 a second Kentucky State Agricultural Society was created to promote local agriculture and the societies it hoped would be formed to encourage production. Edward B. Gaither, son of Dr. Nathan Gaither, of Columbia, was one of the thirteen vice presidents of this Society, scattered across the state.

JIM: An Ornament to the Town Inspired by Larry Smith's photo, 'Summer Work at Lindsey Wilson,' Jim has compiled a chronology of the the now L.R.

Henry Auditorium, where the TheatreFest Series is drawing new crowds to Arbor Vitae Hill this summer and where, tonight, at 7pmCT, Sunday, June 30, 2013 Robert Brock will portray Mark Twain.

McDonald Administration Building on the campus of Lindsey Wilson College, has well endured the test of time. Work started on this edifice one hundred and ten years ago -- June, 1903. Plans for a Methodist Training School in south-central Kentucky first were brought up at the Annual Conference in the early autumn of 1899, and after a series of close calls (the Educational Committee of the Conference originally selected Burkesville as the site) and delays, Columbia was chosen as the location of the school during the 1902 Annual Conference, held in Columbia.

Carol Perkins: Richard Duncan recalls 1950s HS gyms 'Our (Edmonton)gym was the best in the district and for several years, we hosted most of the district tournaments because we could seat the guests better than our fellow schools. Tompkinsville and Gamaliel were still high schools but with tiny gyms; Burkesville had used Marrowbone's gym after theirs burned but they would have one before I graduated, and Clinton County was still using their old gym, too, where Coach Castle was a legend to me as much as Ed Diddle was to others.' - CAROL PERKINS The next earlier Carol Perkins column - Carol Perkins: Summer means baseball and softball in our area By Carol Perkins Richard Duncan, lifelong resident of Metcalfe County, was our guest on our radio show, Carol and Susan-Unscripted, on 99.1 FM, this week. He talked about growing up in the area, and especially the days when he played ball for Edmonton High School under Coach Ralph Reece . As Richard described the area high schools and their gyms during the late 50's, I pictured the one that was upstairs over a building where the ceilings were only eight feet high, and another where the dressing room was underground and the only way to reach it was through a trap door in the floor next to the coal burning stove. As I listened to his vivid descriptions of the various places, especially schools that no longer exist, I thought about how much better off we are today than we were then, even though we are prone to complain about hard times.

Chuck ponders: Who would have dreamed that snug undies are so important in the business world. Next earlier Chuck Hinman column - I smell a mouse By Chuck Hinman Funny People Tricks : Properly Dressed I suspect one of the more popular TV shows here at Tallgrass Estates in Bartlesville, Oklahoma is "Funny Animal Tricks." You can find this show or reruns thereof most any time of day or night. Judging from the amount of raucous laughter heard around these digs from both men and women, I suspect many take a liking to funny incidents that dot their lives and enjoy hearing about them. Some day I hope our Activities Director will ask us to share some of those funny incidents under an activity perhaps entitled "When I First Noticed I Was Losing My Mind!" Here's one of mine....
