Independent voter registration surges in July From Nick Storm Frankfort, KY - Secretary of State Michael Adams announced this week that in July, 8,598 new Kentucky voters registered, with Kentuckians outside the two major political parties once again showing their interest in November's election.

Golf: Adair Co. teams turn in strong effort at BGCC By Kelly Wooley The Adair Progress The Adair County boys' and girls' golf teams faced challenging tests in the Greenwood Gator Invitationals held at Bowling Green Country Club on Monday, August 3, 2026. Both squads finished in the middle of the pack against a strong field of competition. The course was in outstanding condition and provided a true championship test, but despite a determined effort from both teams, the Indians and Lady Indians came up short in the final standings. For the boys, Kaden Burton led the way with an impressive round of 74, earning a tie for 11th place individually. Graham Robertson followed with a 78, while Carson Coomer shot an 87. Hayes Burton carded an 89, and Carson Darnell finished with a 91. The Lady Indians were paced by Ashley Loy, who fired an 83 to also finish tied for 11th place. Ila Loy added a 90, while Claire Loy and Laney Inchcliff each shot 96. Ell Brown rounded out the team scoring with a 111. Adair County also had two girls competing as individuals. Adysen Wooley posted a 120, while Braylynn Hargrove finished with a 127. Although the final results weren't what the teams had hoped for, both the Indians and Lady Indians continued to gain valuable experience against quality competition as they prepare for the remainder of the season. 2026-08-07 10:39:32 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
Volleyball: Lady Indians finish 3rd at Bluegrass State Games By Kelly Wooley The Adair Progress The Adair County Lady Indians volleyball team wrapped up a successful weekend at the Bluegrass State Games, held in Lexington on July 31 through August 2, 2026. The Indians earned a third-place finish in the Silver Bracket of the highly competitive A Division. Adair County was one of 38 teams to compete in the A Division, knowing the tournament would feature some of the state's top volleyball programs. Three of the Lady Indians' opponents from the weekend reached the Kentucky High School Athletic Association state tournament last season, providing Adair County with an early-season measuring stick against elite competition. Despite facing some of the best teams in Kentucky, the Lady Indians proved they belonged. Nearly every match was closely contested, with Adair County battling point-for-point throughout the weekend. While the team worked through early-season mistakes and continued to build chemistry, the experience provided valuable lessons heading into the regular season.

See why agriculture makes KY great at the State Fair Op-ed by Agriculture Commissioner Jonathan Shell Frankfort, KY - As we celebrate the 122nd Kentucky State Fair this year, we also celebrate America's semiquincentennial - the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This year's Kentucky State Fair theme, "Where County Traditions Meet Our Country's Celebration," is a nod to that celebration and the Commonwealth's united identity. Just like Kentucky, America's heritage is tied to agriculture as it represents what we eat, the clothing we wear, and the fiber we use. Many of our country's founding fathers were farmers. The same qualities that made them successful in the fields are what also made them successful in the creation of this country. As Kentucky's agriculture commissioner, I see the hard work our farming families do today to keep our country's entrepreneurial spirit thriving. Blending grit, innovation, and respect for the land, our farmers embody what it takes to succeed in one of the world's oldest professions. Those connections to our ancestral agricultural roots can be found every year at the State Fair. It's a connection many in Kentucky don't personally have anymore, but one that can be re-established each August.
