ADD: Working together pays dividends

"ADDs are all across the nation now after starting right here in Kentucky with the JayCees... The Area Development Districts' contribution to the economic development of the Commonwealth this last half century is immeasurable."
Tony Wilder of Danville, KY, former Judge executive of Boyle County, was the guest speaker at the Lake Cumberland Area Development District (LCADD) annual dinner recently. His message, on this 54th anniversary of the LCADD, focused on working together and how it pays dividends.

"This brilliant concept of regionalization, bringing people together, is a unique Kentucky story that has implications nationwide," he said.

Harper sisters visit the Circle R display at TRH

Sisters Margaret Harper and Joanna Harper Conover paid a visit to the Trabue Russell House for the Annual Soup and Sandwich Luncheon on Wednesday, October 18, 2023. While they were there, they got to view the display about the Circle R Restaurant that is now part of the TRH collection, thanks to donations from the Harper family collection.

The display includes photos of their father, J.D. Harper, who ran the Circle R from 1957 until his retirement in 1995, plus some past employees at the restaurant, including Sylvia Wilson, Peggy and Vonda Brockman, Dean Cowan, and DeGary Bailey, and Mrs. Dowell and Mrs. Johnson hard at work in the kitchen.

There is also a framed copy of an article that Byron Crawford wrote about his visits to the restaurant over the course of 30 years, for the January 11, 1995, issue of the Courier Journal, titled, "A wisp of a waitress, an eternal corsage and food for the soul."

The display provides a unique look back at a Columbia institution, still missed by many. As is written on the scrapbook, "The personalities that made [the restaurant] such a memorable place to spend some time were impossible to replace. It is now just a happy memory."

The historic Trabue-Russell House is located at 201 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY.
