Scenic Adair Co., KY: Holladay Place from Shelton Lane



2014-12-08 - From Shelton Lane & Johnson School Road, Greater Gadberry, KY - Photo (c) ColumbiaMagazine.com.
The view is crisp and clear from Shelton Lane & Johnson School Road near Gadberry, KY over Petty's Fork/Pettitt's Fork of Russell Creek and Frank Dohoney Road , to the one million gallon Columbia/Adair County Utilities District's "Raider Bob" water tower at Holladay. Seems a stone's throw here, but by road, but six miles (?) by Johnson School Road, Fairplay Road, Jamestown Road, the LBN Parkway and Burkesville Road to the Holladay Place shopping center.

Comments re photo 57971 Annabelle Robertson gets in some early shopping

Candice writes:
I am so glad you captured this moment. It seems as though Annabelle haggled with the owner of this ornament and purchased it for $1.00 instead of the $2.00 asking price. We can't blame her completely though. She is a Robertson after all. - Candice
Thanks - And fine qualities she's inherited, for sure. - CM

Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe highly successful this year

Saturday's events were a great way to start the season. There were great crowds, Courthouse Chili enjoyed by all, and it was a chance to for everyone to visit Courthouse's anchor tenant, Columbia Survellance Solutions and talk with the owner, Matt Baker.

By Ellen Zornes, President, Adair Heritage Association

On behalf of Ye Olde Christmas Shoppes and the Adair Heritage Association, want to express appreciation to everyone who helped make this year’s Shoppes at Christmas in Columbia a success. During the morning, you couldn’t even see the floor of the courthouse because there were so many people in it!

The vendors, the most ever, filled both floors and had wonderful and varied items to sell. Our Courthouse Chili and Soup provided by members of the Adair Heritage Association was served all day (for donations) and was well received.

Matt Baker with Columbia Control Systems, the anchor tenant of the historic courthouse, was on hand for people to see his business area, the former Circuit Clerk’s Office. All in all it was a wonderful day filled with shopping, visiting old friends and meeting new ones . . . a great way to begin the Christmas Season.

Snow Protocol for Adair County Schools - 2014/15

Go or No Go Decisions will usually be made by 4:45amCT on school days.

From Alan Reed, Superintendent, Adair County Schools

Seems Mother Nature spared us last winter from the worst of her unpredictable fury. With another winter approaching, all of us in the central office at Adair County Schools are preparing in case ice and snow blankets our roadways.

Our Transportation Director, David Jones, and I using begin our mornings bright and early (usually Midnight to 4amCT) and attempt to make a go/no go decision by 4:45amCT. Sometimes it is an easy call but many times it is not. However, we always err on the side of caution relying on every possible resource out there since safety will always be number one in our district.
