2017 Adair County Fair: Schedule of Events 2017-06-08 - Columbia, KY. - Photo Jennifer Carter, . Thanks to some heroic efforts by the Adair County Fair Board, the fair's tradition continues uninterrupted. Using an innovative idea, which may even have advantages, the fair will be held three locations. 1) At the new Adair County Extension office, 409 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY. 2) At the Pavilion, in the old Fairgrounds, 413 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY. 3) On the campus of Adair County Schools, at ACHS FFA building, 184 FFA Drive, Columbia, KY. A location for amusement rides and a vendor is still being sought. One highly popular event, our Demolition Derby is still not set to happen. All times above are local. - EW.

Observations: A lot going on on Greensburg Street 2017-06-08 - 200 Block, Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . There's a lot going on in this picture. Most obvious is that the reconstruction of the intersection at Campbellsville Street & Merchant/Reed Street will affect all parts of town, including Greensburg Street - so in the interim between the start of the Traffic Signal Rebuild on Monday morning, June 12, 2017, everyone, especially the natives, will have to learn their own shortcuts. The work set to continue through August 1. Secondly the Columbia Baptist Church Vacation Bible School is underway. Thirdly The sight of the beautiful old brick home is a reminder of a hope that this place matters, and that someone will see the value in its restoration. And The sight of the sidewalk: For too long, the City of Columbia has neglected sidewalks for decades. But now, finally, the meticulous work of the City Council's Sidewalk Advisory Committee, there is great hope that a safe sidewalk will finally be built from the Square all the way to the Adair County High School campus - although a deserved moratorium on Columbia street repaving to concentrate on sidewalks for a year or two won't happen, there is hope that, even as early as this summer, a four-tenths of a mile connector from the Joe Flowers corner on Greensburg Street can be constructed. Mary Ann Loy estimates that the cost would be in the neighborhood of $40-50,000, a pittance in the scope of street projects, other economic development costs, and other Parks & Recreation project costs. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Big Al tries world famous Laguna Burger 2017-06-07 - Casa Blanca, NM - Photo by Big Al Owens, the Big Rig Trucker, Food Critic. I stopped at exit 108 in Casa Blanca, New Mexico and had a world famous Laguna Burger. It is delicious and very affordable - at $8.95 for a combo Laguna Burger and choice of fries, sweet potato fries, or onion rings. The burger is one-half pound of 100%, never frozen ground beef, green chile, American Cheese, with lettuce/onion.tomato/pickle and mustard. It's served on a toasted sesame seed bun. It must be good: Truckers eat here and there's always a long line. - BIG AL OWENS, the Big Rig Trucker. If you really want one, it's only about 20.5 hours, around 1400 miles from the Historic Courthouse, 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
