Two South Central Kentucky favorites: Jan & Mackie Jo 2013-06-16 - In front of Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Things get lively when the great Mackie Jo Pennington right, and equally great Jan Overstreet go on stage. South Central Kentucky fans and fans of the late Flatwoods Diner Friday nights know to expect lively, often sensuous performances performances from the pair, and they were not disappointed when the chanteuses took the stage for the finale at Dairy Day, Saturday, June 15, 2013 in front of the Adair Annex - from which the "X" in the upper corner comes, no other significance to that. They were joined by another former Dream Depot favorite and equally great Yulanda Bradshaw. The vertical brick break on the right is the Cemetery Walk off the Square, a vital passage for those who enjoy Downtown Columbia as the ultimate Walking Campus.

Happy Tail: Father's Day tribute 2013-06-16 - Photo from Peg Schaeffer\'s archives. Peg Schaeffer's Dad My father was born in Arnhem, Holland on April 8, 1899. I inherited my love of animals, especially horses, from him. There was a time he rode in the Rose Arts Parade. He had a favorite turquoise cowboy shirt that he wore left photo, and he threw lollipops to the children on the sidewalks. I was at the age that anything your parents do is embarrassing. Instead of being proud of my Dad I turned the other way. In the center photo Dad with my cousin, Gus Lambert. Two years before he died he returned to Holland to the town of his birth. He invited me to go along but I didn't go. When he came back with photos and stories I regretted my decision. I look at pictures now with him in his native dress and wooden shoes right photo so proud of his heritage and I wish I could turn back time. - Peg Schaeffer Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

For a moment: Port Louis in Columbia, KY 2013-06-16 - In front of Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The Man Can Sing - Near the close of a very successful return of June Dairy Day/Farmers Market on the Square Saturday, June 15, 2013, those who stayed late at the festival were drawn from all parts of the Square to the music of Steve Chundy, the vocalist, and Caleb Selby and Nicholas Selby of Simple Truth, primarily devoted to their Christian ministry, but offering a blend of many musical genres. An original song - and a trademark one - is "Nailed to the Cross." They sing at a variety of venues, frequently at Haven Mission on Merchant Street in Downtown Columbia. Their style is influenced, too, by Chundy's birthplace, Maritius, an idyllic island nation in the Indian Ocean, highly ranked, the Wikipedia entry, Mauritius says, for its "democracy, economic, and political freedom." Chundy is the manager of the Cafe on the Square, which reopened to capacity crowds of coffee shop devotees on on Wednesday, June 12, 2013. Contact: Simple Truth Ministries. Mark Selby is in charge of bookings. 270-385-6075 or 803-295-0987. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
