Family keepsakes sought from Adair families By Mig Feuser, The Adair Progress A piece of Adair County's history may be sitting in a barn loft, tucked away in an old dresser drawer or gathering dust in the corner of a family attic. Lindsey Wilson University and artist Leslie Lindsay hope local residents will take another look before throwing those treasures away. The Lucretia C. Begley Art Gallery at LWU has launched a community-wide search for "found objects" that will become part of This Is Where We Live, an exhibition celebrating the history and everyday life of Adair County. The exhibit, created in partnership with Lindsay, is scheduled to open March 1, 2027, and continue through April 9. The project draws its inspiration from Lindsay's great-grandmother, Cora Bell Compton, who was born and raised in southwestern Adair County. Rather than focusing on famous people or major historical events, the exhibition aims to tell the story of ordinary families through the objects they used in their daily lives.

World Cup brings memories from Barcelona Stadium By Doug Beard As have many others folks in our area that didn't grow up competing in and watching soccer, I have enjoyed viewing some of the FIFA World Cup matches over the past few weeks and have great appreciation for the talent of these athletes. Today was particularly interesting for me as Spain captured the world title. I was the Global Strategic Events Manager for Brown-Forman when we planned and produced our closing awards dinner at the FC Barcelona stadium. It was quite an experience to plan, design and execute an event in this remarkable venue. Some of the players that were on Spain's team today were probably some of the ones that we had the opportunity to interact with during the evening. It was a memorable event! 2026-07-19 20:25:09 | Comments | Printable version
