New daily CM feature takes you to this day in years past

Ten years ago today, June 16, in 2011, Columbia Magazine featured a happy hen photo in her pink nest by Shelby Garmon. She wrote, "Pretty in pink. This is Ella. Family scale chicken raising is on the rise in Adair County, for fun and food. There's nothing quite like an omelet made with brown, farm fresh eggs laid of backyard chickens - or by layers in a palatial hen house with pink nest boxes like these."

This day ten years ago also provided one of the most puzzling pictures of the Adair County Public Square fountain corner in memory.

To take a trip through the years of CM archives, just scroll to the new daily feature, A year ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago. And please thank a sponsor each day - the businesses and services advertising here make every word and picture possible.

He said, "I went to first grade with Ed, failed third, so we got separated, then I quit in eighth. We reconnected not long before he passed and we remembered each other."
