Big Time Wrestling came to Columbia 65 years ago


2018-09-02 - Columbia, KY - Photo from the collection of JIM.
This image appeared on page 4 of the September 2, 1953 Adair County News. A related article, page 10, stated that young Miss Jeanetta Collins had left Columbia about a year earlier to begin training for wrestling, "the world's fastest growing sport." By this time, Miss Collins, then 21, had been on the pro circuit for a few months and had made her television debut just a month earlier in Alabama in a two-fall loss to a seven-year veteran of rope and ring. In a 2012 CM article, Mike Watson noted that Miss Collins, who also wrestled under the names "Bambi Bali" and "Kentucky Wildcat," was a 1956 contender in the Women's World Wrestling Championship, losing in the second round to the eventual winner of the series. The Columbia matches were promoted by Joe Marshall of Bowling Green. - JIM

Hungry Kids Cafe at FM 2 - Fresh Cut Flowers in dining room


2018-09-01 - FM2/Hungry Kids Cafe, corner Merchant and Campbellsville Streets, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
Diners at the Hungry Kids Cafe not only enjoy delicious locally produced flavorful meals, they also get a sense of elegance with fresh cut flowers on the tables, provided by Farmers Market on the Square vendor Kathy Campbell of Campbell's Hollow Ranch. Kids are encouraged to touch the flowers and know what real flowers are. From left are Lois Cunningham, who heads the Hungry Kids project; volunteer Gracie Bell, a Lindsey Wilson freshman from Columbia, KY, a 2018 graduate of Adair County High School, and Pamela Felker. Famer's Market on the Square had a fabulous day today, with many of the vendors having sell-out days. The market is open September and October each Saturday, officially 8am-1pmCT, but the walkways begin to fill almost as soon as the first stall is set up.
