Downtown Days: Just one thing missing 2013-10-13 - Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Where's the Farmers Market on the Square? We Hobbits enjoyed the Downtown Festival so much this year. For one thing, it had an awesomely enjoyable slow pace. For another, a priority for us, local, year round businesses seemed to be doing quite well, which should be the first concern. One thing we did miss was the Farmers Market on the Square. When it's not there on Saturday morning, it upsets our routine. As it turns out, the Festival didn't really pick up steam until around noon. With the 200 block of Greensburg blocked off anyway - and empty anyway, the big inflatable would have fit in nicely there, leaving plenty of room for those of us to walk Downtown every day to get visit the market, eat local, and put local agriculture first. Not a complaint - just looking ahead to next year. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

The face of festivals in Columbia, KY Mr. Joe Moore, a beloved Adair County Treasure, walks past the Jamestown Street entrance to the Historic Adair County Courthouse. Maybe more than anyone else, he epitomizes the festival spirit in Downtown. From time to time it is also essential to remember that the drawing of the famed Adair County Courthouse Clocktower, the de facto logo of the city, is his work. (Also of note in the Bicycle Friendly capitol of the world, and home of pedalpowered vehicles from Raleigh folders to unicycle(s), to sofas-on-wheels recumbent bicycles, the purple bike may have been the only kick bike ever in Adair County. It was used to make deliveries from the Anna Mary's in the Food Court to customers around the Square. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
