Saddened that the old AC Fairgrounds are going away

Ivan Overton writes:
Just wanted to say that it saddens me that the AC Fairgrounds are going away. I have many fond memories of this place. I used to walk from our home on Glenmary Street, in the mid to late sixties, many times for Little League games, swimming at the pool, or going to the Fair. I was allowed to go on my own, something you just couldn't do today at that age. Hard to believe that was 50 years ago now. Hate to see it disappear. Thanks. - Ivan Overton Bowling Green, KY

Bob Barnes: Hold next year's AC Fair at Industrial Park

Comments about: What would you want for the next Adair County Fairgrounds?

By Bob Barnes

Obviously much work would need to be done concerning utilities but I would like to see our industrial park on North Hwy 55 be next year's location. Aluminum bleachers could definitely be moved in for spectators. Not idea, but porta johns could also be used. Perhaps the electrical needs would be the most expensive part of a new location for the fair. I would be much happier if this location would not work due to all the new industry coming to this area! - Bob Barnes

Since the announcement of the sale of the Adair County Fairgrounds to Lindsey Wilson College, the discussions have centered around If, What & Where for its successor. Maybe the answer will come in formal statements from the VFW and Lindsey Wilson College, expected in the next 48-72 hours. But we wonder - What do you think?
