Prim Fair 2012: primitive fair, primitive heat, primitive plumbing



2012-11-03 - 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener.
The Primitive Fair found its perfect location in the historic Adair County Courthouse, 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY, since the old building lost its renters to the new justice center. Everything here is primitive, primitive heat, primitive plumbing that you have to go outside for, and beautiful primitive arts and crafts that take you back to yesteryear. The photo above shows the primitive heating element which had to have just a bit of electricity and lots of juice to warm visitors. Signs on the doors said, "no restrooms, go across to the courthouse annex." Vendors like Peggy Loy, above left, and Pam Spires in front of Pam's booth, as well as the visitors coming and going to and from the fair, were patient and understanding that the courthouse is in transition, finding its new life, new income, and can't offer the comforts of central heat and indoor plumbing until more funding can be found. The fair continues through 5pmCT, today, Saturday, November 3, 2012. Anyone wishing to help in the effort to raise funds for courthouse restoration may contact any member of the Adair Heritage Association through the Judge/Executive's office in the Annex.
