Sue Stivers Commentary: Thoughts are the Seeds Of Reality What we think about our community is what we will become. Sue Stivers sites just a few of the positive attributes and plans for Columbia/Adair County: More people moving here. Increased interest in agriculture brought by farmers markets. Expanded vision of many clubs and organizations. Churches to serve those of all faiths. Lindsey Wilson College and its students. New educational opportunities and pathways. The Trail Town Initiative. This, she says, is just a small part of what is going on here. She invites readers make their own list of what's right and Think Positive about Columbia-Adair County. See this and more of Chamber Insights - July 2014 By Sue C. Stivers I tell youth that what they think about is what they will become. I really believed it and still do. I believe the same thing about our Community and County. If we tell ourselves we are second rate, or we can't do or have so and so, we are. If we collectively believe we have the world by the tail, we do. If you believe everything you read or hear on the street that is negative about Columbia and Adair County, we're doomed. Let's look at a few good things that are happening in our City and County. It is a fact that our population is growing...people are moving here from neighboring counties and other states. Almost every week we have people coming to the Chamber office or calling on the phone inquiring about our county and gathering information because of their interest to relocate here. The increased interest in the Agriculture industry with the expansion of the Farmers Market at the County Extension Office and Farmers Market on the Square each Saturday is really an asset to our Community. The Chamber of Commerce congratulates you on being chosen in the top 48 markets in Kentucky. This is a great honor bestowed upon our Community. The expanded vision of the many clubs and organizations within the County is bringing in many new projects and activities that will benefit all people. Churches of all denominations have something for every person, including children and youth. Lindsey Wilson College continues to grow and offers numerous educational opportunities not only for students but for our community. The Wares Fair which the Chamber of Commerce started 8 years ago gives businesses an opportunity to let the students, new faculty and employees know what Columbia/Adair County has to offer. We want students and employees to spend their money in Columbia...not outside the County. The Trail Town project which is being worked on at this time will truly be an asset to our City and County. Excitement continues to grow with the new Bowling Alley and Fun Center that will be opening soon on Campbellsville Road. Our thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Barney Burns for choosing to locate the business in Adair County. Due to space, I have only listed a few examples...the list goes on and on...about what makes Columbia and Adair County a great place to live, work and play. I encourage you to sit down...take a pencil and paper...Make a list of all the "positive" things about Columbia and Adair County. Why do you live here? What do you like about this County? Ask your family members and neighbors why they like living here. After you have completed the above list, begin a new list . . . What additions would you like to see us have? Share your list with me by bringing or mailing it to the Chamber of Commerce Office located at 201 Burkesville Street, Columbia, KY. If you prefer, you may email me at: cactourism@duo-county.com I hope this article will encourage you to "Think Positive" about our City and County. Let's work together to make this the best place to live in Kentucky. This story was posted on 2014-07-31 05:25:48
