Adair Co. Fire Dept roadblocks up again Sun morning, 3 Jun 2018

Collections being received from 8-10amCT in efforts to beat the best! Firemen will leave downtown Columbia at 10amCT to turn in the money in Louisville - first time in many years because of the generosity of donors; one more push this morning and they hope to beat their best total ever. Still time to give on the square and at the Firehouse!

By Donald Hare, Public Information Officer

There was a change in plans for the Columbia/Adair County Fire Department. We did not turn in our total at the regional turn-in in Campbellsville planned for 3pmCT, Saturday. Instead, after a final count being so close, we have decided to have roadblocks again on Sunday morning, June 3, 2018.




After a final count of the money today, Saturday, June 2, 2018, we decided to continue the effort Sunday morning and will take the money to WHAS in Louisville for the first time in years.

We're asking everyone - those who have given, and those who have not - to help us with this final push. We think the community will be elated at the results!

Remember, every dollar raised in Adair County for the Crusade for Children comes back to Adair County in the form of a grant!

Before 8amCT, this morning, Sunday, June 3, 2018, County Fire Chief Billy Flatt, Billy Hadley, and right, 2018 Adair County Crusade for Children Coordinator Charlie Crawhorn, were prepared for a final push, a bonus day - to swell the totals of an already spectacular fundraising year for the Crusade. Firefighters are at posts at the fire department and at the four entrances to the Public Square this morning, from 8am-10amCT, before leaving in private vehicles for the first turn-in at WHAS in Louisville in at least 17 years! There may be more than one superlative to report in live time expected to be between 12pmNoon&1pmCT on WHAS TV 11. A reminder: Every dollar given in Adair County returns to Adair County in the form of a WHAS grant. The totals to be reported will be county wide, and will include The Columbia-Adair County Fire Department, Breeding Area Volunteer Fire Department, and Knifley AVFD totals. Details will be available on ColumbiaMagazine.com and other local media in the next 24 hours. At this posting, there's still time to take that last minute check to the firemen. - EW
