The 2025 Agricultural award given by the Columbia Adair Chamber of Commerce went to the Adair County High School FFA. When you mention agriculture in Adair County, one group really stands out -- FFA -- working to build Future Farm leaders through experience. Students work with livestock on a regular basis in the livestock handling facility and we lead the way in the Kentucky Jr Cattleman Cattle Working Contest.
In addition, Adair County FFA is honored to operate a state-of-the-art greenhouse that offer plant sales to the community. And our shop allows students the opportunity to refurbish and fabricate equipment and structures that are necessary in an agricultural operation. This hands on experience gives students real-world lessons in entrepreneurship, responsibility, and production agriculture. -- From introductions by Ellen Zornes, Executive Director, Chamber of Commerce Comments | Permalink Happy 90th Birthday, Allan Mercer Parnell

Allan Parnell, Adair County native son and former Chair of the Lindsey Wilson Board of Trustees, thanked all who attended his 90th birthday celebration Saturday evening in Louisville. His daughters and grandchildren gave him a huge party to honor his nine decades of living and giving to his family, his friends and organizations he supports, and his work family at Mister "P" Express. Everyone wished him another 10 at least! Comments | Permalink The Ghost of Bill the Cat
