Harriett Gold made this Ding Dong Cake to share with board members of the Adair County Hospital District at her husband Neal’s request. The group gathered for farewells as the office for the Adair County Hospital District was being closed out Wednesday evening. The cake is a great big version of the Hostess snack cake. It’s made with rich chocolate cake layered with a creamy filling. Everyone who tasted it gave it rave reviews and the popular recipe can be found on the Internet. Comments | Permalink

The final audit of the Adair County Hospital District was delivered Wednesday, August 26, 2026 at an unofficial gathering in Columbia. The clean audit - done by Wise, Buckner, Sprowles & Associates, PLLC of Campbellsville - was the final step in the dissolution of the District, allowing the office to close and check for the remainder of $862,229 to be prepared for delivery to Adair County Treasurer Melinda Quinn. Richard Grant, Tammy Curry and Neal Gold have stayed through the District challenge for the entire decade and say there have been many who have served during those who deserve thanks.
