"Tourism is essential to Kentucky and that is why I have made it a priority to support this industry. It's thrilling to see our hard work pay off in such a historic way," said Gov. Beshear.

Free Class: Guide to Yard Sales and Consignment Shops From Dylan Gentry Many of us have items in our homes that have been kept long beyond their usefulness. These items often clutter our houses while we scratch our heads, wondering what to do with them. Many times, clothes, furniture, or odd knickknacks are still in good condition, yet we no longer have a use for them or want to downsize. On the other hand, many of us also have upcoming purchases, such as back-to-school clothes, home redecorating, or furnishing a college apartment, that make us wonder whether there is a cheaper option. Checking out local yard sales and consignment shops might help you save substantially and even earn a little extra cash. Join the Adair County Extension Office at 10amCT on Friday, August 11, 2023, for this free class. Sheila McGaha, from the Lake Cumberland Community Action Agency, will be a special guest presenter. The Adair County Extension Office is located at 409 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY. 2023-08-08 20:14:18 | Comments | Printable version

Letter: Yard sale photo brings back memories Robert Cumming writes: Looking at Linda Waggener's 127 Yard Sale photo, I instantly recognized my wife Laura Miller's former orchard property. It was on her family's place across from the radio station in Russell Springs. Before they sold their farm I set up a 127 vendors "stand" a few times under the shade of those orchard trees. They were always a great spot on those hot August afternoons.Comments re: Longest yard sale brought lots of business 2023-08-08 07:23:17 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
