Scenic Adair Co., KY: Fall color on Hughes Road 2012-10-13 - Hughes Road, The Flatwoods, Adair County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. If you're in the South of Adair County, KY, today the colors are somewhat more spectacular on new KY 61 South from The Flatwoods south. But Hughes Road off Wheeler Hill Road (used to be Burkesville Road, still the main street of The Flatwoods Business and Historic District) offers a slower paced step back in time look at Adair County, and with flecking of peak color for some species before nature's brightest palette of red, yellow, orange and evergreen autumn colors appear.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Band Bingo Hotdog 2012-10-13 - 55 Shady Lane, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The ADAIR Band serves what may be the most generous toppings in the hotdog business - and for not very much money. This whopper and large soft drink came in for about $4 - too anxious to eat to check the tab, and too impatient to wait for a hamburger, which the concession staff says is even better. Huge crowds have shown up for Band Bingo - the count was around 200 Tuesday, October 9, 2012 and players swarmed in from every adjoining county and at least one was from out of state, from Celina, Tennessee. It's quite a show, whether you duck in for a sandwich or stay to play. Now every Tuesday and Friday night, from 5pm-10pmCT, at the Adair Bingo Hall, 55 Shady Lane, Columbia, KY. Net proceeds from the events go to the ADAIR Band Boosters charitable causes. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
