Business: To-the-Nines starts on the square Friday The historic Adair County Courthouse will again be surrounded by people walking from store to store, talking and sharing time with family and friends. Last year, in an effort to support small business growth in historic downtown, the Columbia-Adair Chamber of Commerce pursued a project they hoped would draw people to the square. Those efforts paid off. "To the Nines" late store hours on Friday night was created and proved so successful it will be held again this year - kick off is scheduled for this Friday night, March 8, 2019 starting at 6pmCT. Whatever the weather, folks can visit downtown to shop, eat, or simply socialize. A wonderful perk is the majority of businesses are within walking distance. It's all very reminiscent of days gone by. Caleb Irvin, and his wife Luci, owners of Nanwood Market on the square, originally came across the idea in a magazine he saw early last year. Too good to pass up, he brought it to the attention of Chamber Director Pam Hoots and the Chamber of Commerce body during a meeting concerning Columbia's downtown. Passionate about the event, Irvin says, "This is a way for people to shop that may not be able to do so during regular store hours. A lot of businesses plan special events on that night such as sales or give-a-ways." Irvin is part of a growing movement within the community eager to see the square once again become a lively hub. "It's nice to see everyone out and talking," he highlights. "It's the social aspect of it all. It brings life back to the square." Though the focus is for everyone to enjoy themselves, Irvin explains that "To the Nines" is an amazing way to support small local businesses. "All the downtown merchants seem to be happy with it, we are able to feed off each other and bring in customers. There are a lot of perks to the night, it grows business and it shows the buildings that are empty - someone could eventually decide to put their own business in one." Caleb Irvin was recently named to the Tourism Commission by Mayor Pam Hoots. Executive Director of the Columbia-Adair Chamber of Commerce Ellen Zornes extends an open invitation for everyone to experience "To the Nines" this Friday. "Easter is just around the corner," reminded Zornes, "so visit each store for specials, discounts, and bargains." (Sponsored by the Columbia Adair Chamber of Commerce.)
