As the LWC Malvina Farkle Day of Service began on the public square, volunteers were directed to projects needed at the historic Adair County Courthouse. Weeds, vines and trees growing around the edges of the building were removed and the white trim around the yard got a new coat of paint, donated in part by the Adair Heritage Association. - LW Comments | Permalink Malvina Farkle day volunteers brighten Fountain Plaza

Mary Anne Loy, at right, advised Lindsey Wilson College Malvina Farkle Day volunteers as to cleanup needs around the fountain on the square. The students are team members who add their strength to tough tasks needed regularly to brighten the area shared by the public. The one-way/yield sign at left remains beat up and crooked -- whenever anyone asks for it to be corrected they hear, "that's the state" -- so if anyone from state government is reading this, please, the citizens of Adair County need a corrected sign facing Greensburg Street on Columbia's public square.

Josh Karnes was the surprise guest at the Columbia/Adair County 2018 Annual Picnic who answered the call, "Is there an auctioneer in the house"? He works full time for Clark Distribution and in his spare time he said, does "a little auctioneering." He got many words of thanks and praise for how well he conducted the auction, how he prompted for the next bid, waited, then moved the bidding forward in the fundraiser at the Picnic where proceeds go to help maintain the park. - LW Comments | Permalink Older Photos
