In the right hand photo, he's pictured with some samples, along with his assistant, Toon, the Rees' 14 year old Rottweiller, who caused a panic yesterday when he did some advance party reconnoitering for the Rees' and without letting Mark and Anita know. However, he was back on duty at home base today, and all is calm again. The studio, by the way, is Mark's Custom Shoe Art.

Witnessing for Kelleyville Community Church 2012-08-12 - B. Neat Road, District 4, Adair County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Oilman Junior Stotts was using a conveyance which uses little petroleum while working for his Kelleyville Community Church, Saturday, August 11, 2012. He was inviting a friend, Dan Loy, to Bring A Friend Sunday, today, August 12, 2012, at the Coburg, KY, church. The car has caused quite a stir in Stotts' neighborhood. His other car is a Canadian built tour bus. On forays from Adair County, the little electric car will be in tow, for tooling around Pigeon Forge and his other frequent haunts. The GEM-4 neighborhood electric vehicle goes some 30 miles on a household charge, and has a top touring speed of 35 mph. The 2002 Prevost bus causes a stir in the neighborhood, too, when it is about.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: A beautiful Sunday ahead 2012-08-12 - 2267 Jones Chapel RD, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Saturday, August 11, 2012, was a perfect Summer day. Cloud formations in a spectacular summer sky, with gentle breezes and moderate warm temperatures had residents on the road. Trilby and Sonny Vance said that wanderlust and the need to visit folks and Greensburg and Campbellsville took them there earlier in the day, and that the time was so enjoyable, they made a second sightseeing tour in the afternoon - and still had time and energy for a night time event watching local talent. Sunday, August 12, 2012, is starting off with the same call - today with a call to worship for the majority. The scene above is of one of Adair County's prettiest and lovingly maintained churches. It's not the most pleasing angle, but one dictated by the sun - and by an insistent friend who said the picture had to be taken. We're hoping that everybody who can will be out today, enjoying South Central Kentucky. And if a photo is taken as the congregants enter or leave a church today, we hope it will be submitted for use on our Directory of Churches page. -EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
