BRBB: Four bears spotted this past week in Adair Co., KY

Lone bear seen in cornfield off KY 704; Momma bear and two cubs seen on Chestnut Flats along Greenbriar Road in Adair County District Three. Eyewitness account reports biggest, darkest bobcat he's ever seen.

By Ed Waggener

Billy Joe Fudge, newly sworn member of the ancient and exalted Blue Ribbon Bear Board assigned to the Greenhills sector and the Adair/Cumberland County frontier, reports two sightings of four bears in Adair County District 3, and Gary Coomer, Dean of the BRBB, was notified today up at the college.

A single bear was seen in the cornfield just south of Chance Road on KY 704 along Crocus Creek. The exact date of this report is not known, nor is the bear's gender know. "Nobody turned the bear up and tickled its stomach," Mr. Fudge said, "so just say 'gender not known,'" but hw said he'd surmise it was a male bear.

Campbellsville sector BRBB secret agent sends hot link

An Adair County Blue Ribbon Bear Board member, a clandestine operative in the Suburban Campbellsville Sector, has just sent a link to an online story which relates to the picture Mikki Flowers sent yesterday of the Bear Cub in Janella Delp's backyard, just a few miles from Barnett's Creek Road in Adair County. The ink has hardly dried on the story, "Black bears spotted in south-central Kentucky" which appeared online at the Courier-Journal.com on June 29, 2007, at 3:22pmET/2.22pmCT, when the agent checked in to the BRBB home base.

Sightings in the area are very common now, but no less exciting to BRBB members, whose faith in the presence of Bears in Adair County is now being abundantly validated. See Blue Ribbon Bear Board for more on this most ancient and venerated society.
