The popular walk among the markers in the Columbia City Cemetery continues monthly at 7pmCT on the first Friday along with the To the Nines evening shopping hours on the Public Square. Guides Dave Thomas, at left, and Mike Watson promise a different theme each month. This time, as it occured on Derby Eve, the focus was horses, people who worked in the industry, or rode in the Adair County Fair. They are open to ideas for future themes. Find them at the Adair County Genealogy and History Center by the Library on Greensburg Street. Comments | Permalink

Adair County High School senior Kaylee Campbell signed to play basketball at Campbellsville University on May 5, 2022.

ACHS head coach Jerald Bryant stated, "I am very excited to see Kaylee get this opportunity to further her basketball career as she pursues her education at CU. Kaylee has worked hard to remain focused on and off the court. She puts her heart into every aspect of life. Through her challenges, she leans on her faith and determination to succeed. Kaylee is detail oriented and willing to do the little things that may not show up in the statistics, but play a role in the outcome. Congratulations Kaylee!" Comments | Permalink

Lantern Tour - no flowers, folklore please

As darkness and rain signaled the end of the May, 2022 Columbia City Cemetery historic walk, I borrowed a lantern to visit my late husband, Ed. If you're nearby on Memorial Day, know that he won't be especially interested in flower arrangements nor flags at his headstone, but he will sure appreciate the folklore and history of the people he loved being shared all around him.
