Black History Month workshop held at Adair Public Library 2012-02-25 - Photo by Wanda Washington. Diversity was the topic of discussion at the Adair Public Library Saturday morning. The group Greater Campbellsville United and members of the Adair Genealogical Society shared two hours of talks about African-American heritage in Adair County and how it can best be documented. GCU has done oral histories in Taylor and Green and hope to work with Adair County next. Rosenwald Schools were remembered and historian Mike Watson hopes anyone with records from the school will contact the Library so copies can be made there for the archives. Two old friends who hadn't seen each other in some time, Carolyn Compton, left, and Ernestine Bennett, second from right, connected at the meeting and renewed friendships. From left are: Compton, Geniece Marcum, Mike and Renee Watson, Lee Ann Jessie, Linda Waggener, Bennett and Pam Buford. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Kentucky Color: Old Chickenhawk 2012-02-25 - Sparksville, Adair Co., KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. The Red Tailed Hawk is a protected species today, but it was the sworn enemy of mothers raising chickens to feed their families. It was that way on Sparks Ridge, Billy Joe Fudge recalls. "I can still see my Ma, Emma Jessie Fudge, standing on the front porch of the old homeplace pulling the trigger on my Pa Fudge's 22 caliber Remington automatic rifle in an attempt to kill, maim or at least scare away a Chickenhawk screeching and circling above," he writes.

Picture from the past: 76 year old Green County fair pass 2012-02-25 - Campbellsville, KY - Photo from collection of Larry Smith. Larry Smith spotted this old fair pass, over three quarters of a century old years old now, among his memorabilia. He said it reminded him of just what a tradition the fair has been, how important it has been in his life and the lives of other Green Countians. The fair pass sparks questions: How old is the Green County Fair, and how long has it been held in its present location? With the prospect of the Taylor County Fairgrounds being moved from KY 68/KY 55 north of Campbellsville, KY, to a location on KY 55 south of Campbellsville, north of Columbia, there's also a question about how long county fairs have been held in present locations in Liberty, Russell Springs, Burkesville, Edmonton, Greensburg, Campbellsville, and Columbia. Maybe there's a location on the web for that information, but we could not find it, easily. It was too early in the morning to call late riser Larry Smith, who isn't on the job until after 5amCT each morning at The WAVE, FM 92.7. CM will post the information when we receive it, or when Larry Smith retrieves it from the recesses of his memory. -CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
