Life in Holler: Fall is spectacular 2012-10-15 - The Hollow, Old Clearsprings Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne. It was like the Master pulled a switch over the weekend and we went from green to this. Fall is my favorite season of the year. The color is just a bonus. I like the invigorating cool crisp air, when every sense is heightened. The air is clearer and we can see farther. Smells of woodsmoke and bacon frying make eating a joy and woods music is so clear, so pure. - Shamarie Claiborne. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Favorite Old Photo: VFW scene from 1970s 2012-10-15 - 413 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY - Photo from collection of Faye McKinley. Fay McKinley found this photo in her collection and shares a scene which has dramatically changed in the four decades since it was taken at the VFW Monument at the Adair County Fairgrounds. The minister standing before the monument was Rev. Jerry Klein, pastor of Columbia First Church of the Nazarene. The circular drive was at what was then the home of the Elmer Bryant family and is now occupied by the Adair County Extension Office. The Hood home was just beyond, and has recently been razed.

The best spot to watch the concert . . . parade . . . speaking 2012-10-14 - 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo from the collection of Fay McKinley. No doubt about it The Rowe family was royalty when big downtown events happened in Columbia, similar to the just ended Downtown Days. This photo appears to be a mid 1960s one. It's of the Hotel Miller owners and family and or guests seated above the Square for some event. Two people are distinctly identifiable, Mr. Owen Rowe is the man at right, standing in the window, and near the right, Mr. and Mrs. Haskin Rowe and child. Maybe someone else can identify the others. Today, the vantage point would be a good one for listening to concerts from the Main Stage of the Rusty Nail, but would be behind the temporary building. It would have been absolutely perfect for watch the crowd. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
