Christmas in Columbia 2011 Kickoff - The Best Ever! 2011-12-04 - Downtown Columbia, kY - Photo by Linda Waggener. A Greatly Expanded Christmas in Columbia kickoff is already proving the best ever, from its start at a great Columbia Rotary Breakfast, to the hugely successful Old Fashioned Courthouse Christmas, to the an enthusiastic gathering at the Wellness Center at Lindsey Wilson College and the hundreds of kids who herded parents there to see Santa's arrival, to a fun-filled parade with the weather cooperating perfectly - nippy enough to make hot chocolate the perfect drink, warm enough that medium jackets kept everyone warm. And it continues today, Sunday, December 4, 2011 with a wonderful Columbia Woman's Club tour of homes, and with Church plays and special programs with more choices than any one persons could possibly attend. Merry Christmas, Columbia/Adair County. -LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Adair Heritage stalwarts 2011-12-03 - Adair Co. Courthouse, 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Adair Heritage Leaders Lee Ann Jessee, Linda Lewis and Mike Watson enjoyed a break at the Heritage Association booth in the Hallway of the Adair County Courthouse. AHA President Ellen Zornes said that sales of courthouse memorabilia, AHA memberships and courthouse ornaments had gone well. "The vendors did really well," she said, "and most of the people who came in the Courthouse were surprised to find it in as good a condition as it is. We have a long way to go, but I'm pleased that the courthouse is once again in use. We were all really encouraged by the public's support."
