This week is Adair County Little League Allstars Week in Columbia and Adair County.
County Judge-Executive Gale Cowan and Mayor Pam Hoots made it official Tuesday evening by jointly signing a proclamation at Joe Johnson Little League Park, flanked by players and coaches from both the 9-10-year-old and 11-12-year-old all-star teams.
Both teams recently captured District 5 championships to qualify for their respective state tournaments.Â
The teams will be recognized with a parade/police escort through Columbia Thursday. The groups will leave Joe Johnson Little League Park at approximately 4 p.m, and greet well-wishers along Jamestown Street and around the Public Square in Columbia before dispersing on Burkesville Street.
State tournament games are set to begin Saturday in LaGrange, Kentucky.
