Terry Partin on the Big Dawg promoting Southern KY Outdoor Expo 2018-07-31 - The Big Dawg Studio, 101 E Main Street, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Larry Smith, The Big Dawg, 99.9 FM. It's always a pleasure to interview Terry Partin on the Big Dawg. He was our early morning interview this morning, just a few hours after all the excitement at the Taylor County Detention Center happened but was fast fading off into history as thoughts turned to one of the biggest events in South Central Kentucky, the Southern KY Outdoor Expo, which Terry Partin and others from his Jones Chapel United Methodist Church have turned into a nationally known event. It's coming up Saturday, August 4, 2018, on the campus of the Adair County School District, with events all day, and Terry says he thinks it will be setting new records again this year. - LARRY SMITH Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Bruce & Patsy Wilson - Out sharing summer's bounty 2018-07-31 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Bruce and Patsy Wilson were out last night delivering huge Heirloom tomatoes and 20 pound watermelons to gardening challenged friends. The watermelons were perfectly ripe and sliced open with just a suggestion from a knife blade and were as sweet as honey. The Heirloom tomatoes, almost uniform in size provide platter size tomato steaks and barely need any seasoning to enjoy. Raising watermelons is a family tradition. Bruce Wilson's father Ivy Wilson was a legendary watermelon man, both in Russell County and later in Adair, back when most Kentuckians thought good watermelons could only come from Seymour and Vincennes, Indiana. There were times, back in the days when thieves were more practical and properly prized watermelons that growers had to go to extreme lengths to keep melon crime down. Now, with dumb opportunistic, dummy-see-dummy-do crime in vogue, watermelon stealing is no longer a big deal for growers, Bruce said. But for food-for-heath people, those with so much conscience they empathize with rocks, watermelon is prized, for many reasons - most lately, they say that it's known as Viagra-off-the-Vine - good for the libido. Before the pair could relate a chapter in their wonderful biographies, they were off, like Santa Claus for their two final deliveries. - EW. Paired Photo.
