A good guess, the fourth one, so we need to drop a CLUE. It's time to let everyone know not to think Green River Lake. The closest stream to the Mystery Lane does not feed into Green River Lake. We hope your next guess can use that clue and give the answer. - ED 2016-06-19 17:00:26 | Comments | Printable version

The Adair County Fair - memories 
'They say, though, that county fairs are becoming relics of the past. That television and movies and big sports events and things as un-Bible as discos and rock concerts are the big draws today. That the fairs aren't even a part of the 20th century, much less the 21st. But this isn't the 20th century. This is A-dare County! And as long as it is, there will be an A-dare County Fair. And People. Making memories from the column, "Around Adair" 7/04/1980 Re-posted by Linda Waggener, Father's Day, 2016. By Ed Waggener Founder and publisher of The Daily Statesman, Columbia, KY - LINDA The fair for me is memories. There is a haunting voice I can still hear. It was, for years, the voice of the man who was the "Voice of the Fair." The man who possessed it might have been mistaken, on first seeing and hearing him, for a United States Senator, or a Governor of Kentucky, or a great minister. The voice he had rang out clearly, with perfect dignity, full of wit and color. To me, the voice of the late John Shelley was as distinctive as that of radio announcer Paul Clark, or Milton Cross, or President Kennedy or Winston Churchill. He was that good. Now, new memories of announcers are being made by Robert Bell and Garnett Baker - today's "Voices of the Fair."

Jimmy Stone Goat Spa goats clearing weeds on Dillon Street The goats are proving far more entertaining than a weed eater, though maybe not as efficient. Ambassadors for their kind, they've already progressing on the diplomatic front, with talks underway across Eastside of Dillon Street head man Bobby Beard. Start of a new epoch in vegetation control? One would hope so. Click on headline for this Father's Day-story-of-a-kind with photo documentation By Melissa Stone The two goats in the accompanying picture are resting after a long day of hard work eating weeds. They have been commissioned from the Jimmy Stone Goat Spa in Clay Ridge to help clear vines on Dillon Street. Pa Stone has been working on this project for a while – the goats were convinced to tolerate a collar and chain and have grudgingly agreed to leave the spa for a brief visit to the big city.
