Business at the Judicial Center 2020-08-05 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. Looking across the street from Farmers Market Wednesday activity, the view is of business at the Adair County Judicial Center on the corner or Merchant and Campbellsville Streets. Both activities - judicial and market - were once on the Columbia Public Square, and both were moved for greater amounts of space to this corner a block off the Square. The Farmers Market traffic is able to utilize the Judicial Center parking spaces on Saturdays. On Wednesdays, with fewer vendor tents, there is plenty of space in the City of Columbia parking lot, allowing for all the shoppers on its side of Merchant street.

Kentucky Color: Big Mushroom 2020-08-05 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. By Billy Joe Fudge The Cauliflower Mushroom is a common sight for those of us who go traipsing around the timberlands of the Great Wooded South. These particular ones are dining on the decaying roots of this stump left from a harvest some 15 years ago. Speaking of dining, according to all the sources with which I've consulted, Cauliflower Mushrooms are safe to eat and are very tasty. Since I'm not an expert on mushrooms, I highly recommend you do your own research prior to slathering (thanks Jim) on the butter or other condiments. Just a note, even though this baby Hickory is completely surrounded, I'm sure it is not being negatively impacted by the mushroom's embrace.
