Winners of the 2025 Downtown Days Photo Contest

From Mike Watson

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2025 Downtown Days Photo Contest! There were 36 entries, and all were great!

First, Second, and Third Place winners were selected by Secret Judging Panel, and then visitors voted on the People's Choice during the Downtown Days Festival last week:
  • First place: Double R Farm "Sitting Cow" by Joe Rogers
  • Second place: Ernestine Bennett
  • Third place: Cynthia Ward
  • People's Choice: Gardenia Flower USA by Cassie Jo Rogers
Photographers are asked to leave their photos until the end of this week, so folks can come by to see the winners. The Adair County Public Library's Genealogy & History Research Center is located at 307 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY. Operating hours are 9amCT to 5pmCT weekdays and 9amCT to NoonCT on Saturdays.

Any photographer who wishes may donate their entries to the Research Center photo collection, in anticipation of a Downtown Days Art Calender in the future. We hope to have enough to create a calendar for 2026 or at least 2027.
