Thanks for the morning: Very rural Columbia, KY 2011-08-20 - 315 Campbellsville ST, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The Beautiful Columbia City Cemetery was open from Campbellsville Street this Saturday morning, allowing a very slow drive through its park like setting. Across the old, southwest side of the cemetery, the Columbia Christian Church might have been a county church. The densely wooded landscape in the foreground gave little hint that, just a few yards up the hill, hidden from view here, there is a virtual city of approximately 3,000 people at Lindsey Wilson College, or that the cemetery is in the midst of a day time population of some 8,000 when the school is in session.

Nicholas Weber: All the way from Murray, KY to Expo 2011-08-20 - 526 Indian DR, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Nicholas Weber, with Holland Grills, came from Murray, Kentucky, 195 miles west of Columbia, KY, to exhibit his company's products at the South Central Kentucky Outdoor Expo. It's a trip of 4 hours. "A long haul," is the way he put it. His name is spelled Weber, the same as it is in Adair County, and prounounced, as here, "webber." Weber said that his next door neighbor is also a Weber, pronounces the name the same way, but is no kin as far as he knows. In fact, he said, the other Weber moved to Calloway Co, KY, from another state. That's his trailer, left, background, and that's Adair County High School behind him, where, before opening time of 9amCT this morning, the parking lots were already filling up.

Big Crowd showing up for 2011 Outdoor Expo 2011-08-20 - 526 Indian DR, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. John Mark Partin of Jones Chapel United Methodist Church, directed a car to the Adair County High School lower parking lot early this morning, at about 8:45amCT, as the Adair County High School gymnasium was filling up for the 2011 South Central Kentucky Outdoor Expo. Last year, the Expo was held in the small Adair County Elementary School Gymnasium, but this year, it was moved to the larger high school gym. Partin said that vendors have come from all over Kentucky, Tennessee, and at least as far away as Kansas. Activities continue at the huge event today through 2pmCT.
