Adair County Magistrate Billy Dean Coffey and Grandson Kayden Dobson are pictured at the National Farm Machinery Show at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville Saturday. Jackie wrote that many from Adair County were among the 300,000 or more in attendance during the event. Her family regularly attends and she remembers when Kayden was little, he could barely reach the top of the huge tractor tires, and now he has grown to be taller than they are. The annual event covers eight interconnected exhibit halls with more than 1.2 million square feet of indoor exhibit space. There are over 890 agricultural displays.

Jerry Garmon, a recruiter from Edmonton, Metcalfe County, is looking for people who want jobs as 2020 Census takers in Adair County. He stressed that as of now, Adair does not yet have all the census jobs filled. He asked the Chamber of Commerce audience to help spread the word and make sure all jobs are filled so that every citizen can be counted in the upcoming census. He said each person not included in the count looses $2,000 to the county in possible aid that is calculated by the number of people in the county. You can find his contact information at the Chamber of Commerce, 270-384-6020.
