Instapot Class at Extension Office From Dylan Gentry, FCS Agent Adair County Cooperative Extension Service Join us for a fun session learning how to use a popular appliance around the holidays, the Instapot, at NoonCT on Tuesday, December 19, 2023, at the Adair County Extension Office, 409 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY. Instapots are very versatile appliances that can be used to slow cook, dehydrate, and make soup, amongst other functions for large quantities. An Instapot is a particular type of pressure cooker which uses built-up pressure to quickly cook dishes. Since the Instapot uses pressure to cook, some may worry about the safety of the product. In this course we will cover all the safety essentials plus make a tasty recipe sure to please your guests this Holiday season. The class is free, but you must pre-register by calling 270-384-2317. 2023-11-08 09:39:29 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education

2023 General Election results in Adair Co. In Adair County for the November 7, 2023 Kentucky General Election, 5,309 ballots were cast, from a pool of 13,975 registered voters. With no local or national races on the ballot, the 37.99% turnout was down from 45.9% in the 2022 General Election, which featured a large slate of candidates for local offices. Straight Party votes went overwhelmingly for the Republican ticket in 2023. Of 2,578 straight party votes, 82.37% were for the Republican ticket. Voters who chose individual candidates followed a similar pattern, with all but one Republican candidate collecting around 80% of the total votes in Adair County (and nearly 60 percent statewide). Bucking that trend, incumbent Governor Andy Beshear appears to have picked up some voters across party lines on his way to reelection, with 32% of 5,285 Adair County votes in the Governor's race, compared to 68% for the Cameron ticket. Gov. Beshear also improved in Adair County since his first run for Governor. Against incumbent Matt Bevin in the 2019 General Election, Beshear collected only 29% of Adair County votes. Local results for all races are available at sos.ky.gov/liveresults. 2023-11-08 09:14:13 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Politics
