Potential vendors may contact Gayla Baker at 270-789-0013.

I remember that Mr. Lee Chelf, Mr. Van Dunbar and Mr. Babe Hovious(my grandfather)were great competitors in Knifley during the 30's. I had another "Chelf" experience during the 50's; I was rushing to my General Quarters station in the middle of the night aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt off the coast of Bulgaria (a very hostile area). I collided with a chief petty officer that looked VERY familiar. After a few moments of somewhat hostile staring we recognized each other---he was Ralph CHELF of Roley. We were a little late arriving at our GQ stations! --Richard HoviousComments re article 68742 Mike Watson Chelf family in honor of Knifley Revisited 2014-07-28 10:39:23 | Comments | Printable version

JD GEE: Favors 2/3 of 100 year old traffic law By JD Gee The following two paragraphs are from an article headlined "The New Automobile Law," found the May 6, 1914 edition of the Adair County News; "The new automobile statute is much more stringent than the old one. In addition to fines ranging from $10 to $50, it imposes imprisonment in the county jail for terms of five to thirty days, in the discretion of the court and jury.Twenty miles an hour would be a tad slow for the roads of today, but the other two speed limits..........oh, if only! - JD Gee 2014-07-28 10:19:13 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History

Mike Watson: Chelf family - in honor of Knifley Revisited Knifley Revisited is an all-day celebration which will be held in Knifley, Adair County, KY, on Saturday, September 6, 2014 By Mike Watson Adair County Historian Here is a short biographical sketch of William P. Chelf, Casey Creek region, that I'd like to submit in honor of Knifley's upcoming celebration... MW Chelf has been a prominent name in Adair County for generations. Lee Roy “L.R.” Chelf operated a very successful mercantile business at Knifley for many years. In honor and support of the Knifley Homecoming and Festival, coming up on September 6th, here submitted for review of CM readers, is an 1887 biographical sketch of William P. Chelf, Casey Creek, and his family. This bio first appeared in Kentucky: A History of the State . . . , by W.H. Battle, J.H. Perrin, G.C. Kniffin, 4th edition, Louisville, Ky, F.A. Battey & Company, 1887. The writing was the style of the day; long, long sentences and quaint turns of phrase were the accepted order. No additions or corrections have been made, except for the brief items that follow the sketch, taken from The Adair County News upon the death of Mrs. Rhoda Chelf. - Mike Watson Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2014-07-28 08:47:36 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Mike Watson - History

ADAIR Band practice field fix. Elegant, economical, quick The ADAIR Band practice field dilemma is solved thanks to the *Power of the Master Mind A group of 10 individuals got together and worked out the plan: Adair County Band Director Tom Case, Band Boosters Mark Harris, Donald Hare, and David Taylor; ACHS Football Coach Travis Gay, ACMS Football Coach John Peck, and ACHS Baseball Coach Mike Mantooth; Student Transportation and Maintenance Director David Jones, Adair County School Board Chairman Floyd Burton, and Superintendent Alan W.
