In search of the Band of Bros. Man who repainted TRH marker

Vonnie Kolbenschlag is impressed by great work:
George and I have been out of town for almost two weeks. This morning on the way to church we passed the marker in front on the Trabue property and BOY does it ever look great! I knew someone at the Christian Church was going to redo the sign, but I do not know his name. Would that all our historic markers looked so impressive! - Vonnie
Thanks, Vonnie K for catching someone doing great work and telling others about it. I hope someone in the Christian Church's Band of Brothers informs us of the his name. -EW

Making Molasses in southern Adair County, KY

By Robert Ellis

Traveling Highway 704 yesterday looking for photo opportunities, I was delighted to see Molasses making going on at the homestead of Max and Kathy Hadley in southern Adair County, KY. They graciously gave me a free pass to take all the photos I wanted. I've shared a few photos of the event along with notes from a Wikipedia search of the process in this story.

Working patiently through the steps of taking the stalks through the process to liquid were Max and Kathy, helped by John and Amanda.
