Columbia-Adair sets trial run for certification as Trail Town On site registration for the Columbia/Adair County Trail Towns Initiative will be at the historic Adair County Courthouse, 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY, beginning at 8amCT, Saturday, May 30, 2015. Registration for participation is limited to 50 participants for the four-mile paddle on Russell Creek. By Ellen Zornes, Chamber Insights Trail Town is a national program that works through each state to help small communities develop and take advantage of adventure tourism opportunities in their area through a designation and assistance program that will help these communities provide information for travelers and guide them to trails, food, lodging, campgrounds, museums, entertainment and other services that will aid business for small communities and add more tourism opportunities for the state. Trail Towns are communities that have an extensive trail system or a river or water area used for canoeing and kayaking. It also allows for trails to be developed and used for walking, biking, horseback riding, canoeing and kayaking and off road riding. Columbia-Adair County is taking its first step to become a Trail Town as part of the Kentucky Trail Town Initiative through the Kentucky Office of Adventure Tourism in the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet. That step is the trial run of a designated trail. Our designated trails are our waterways and the trial run is scheduled for Saturday, May 30 with a four-mile paddle on Russell Creek limited to 50 participants. In order to participate in the trial run you must register including signing the waiver, must be 18 or older and must provide your own kayak or canoe, paddles and life vest. Registration forms are available at the public library or on FB at Columbia Adair Trail Town. Additional information is on the registration form. But hurry, registration time is limited. There is a $10 registration fee that includes the official Paddle Adair T-shirt, decal, breakfast sandwich and drink at FM2, and shuttle service for you and your kayak back to the put in area. A snack will also be provided at the take out. When you register, there is a choice of five put in times. Upon completing the paddle, a short survey is required that will make you eligible for the prize drawing of an Old Town Vapor kayak, personal flotation device and paddle. All participants must report to the historic courthouse the morning of the paddle to receive your packet and important information about the paddle. If you want to be part of making Columbia the next certified Kentucky Trail Town but don’t want to paddle, no problem. We are also in need of volunteers to help with getting boats in water, getting boats out of water, registering, etc. the day of the Trial Run. Volunteers will also receive the official Paddle Adair t-shirt. Contacts: the library at 270-384-2472 or the Chamber/Tourism office 270-384-6020. - Ellen Zornes, Columbia/Adair County Chamber of Commerce, 201 Burkesville Street, Columbia, KY.
