ADAMS, Mass. — The Adams Theater will welcome comedian Katherine Blanford to the stage on Saturday, Aug. 30 at 7:30pm.

According to a press release:

Originally hailing from Kentucky, Blanford is known for her human Golden Retriever presence on stage. After racking up millions of views on her "Don't Tell Comedy" set, Blanford hit the road sharing confessions of her southern family secrets and awkward adolescent years across the country and internationally.

She has appeared twice on "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon, Vice TV's "Super Maximum Retro Show," and "After Midnight" with Taylor Tomlinson. Most recently, she was featured on Deadline's "Comedians Ready to Break Out in 2025".

Katherine released her debut special, Catholic Cowgirl, with 800LB Gorilla Records in December 2024. Not bad for a girl whose parents are cousins.

Adams Parts Ways With Police Chief

ADAMS, Mass. — The town has parted ways with its police chief.

K. Scott Kelley "is no longer employed by the Town of Adams," according to interim Town Administrator Holli Jayko.

The Board of Selectmen voted on Sept. 8 to put the police chief on a paid leave of absence but town officials have declined to answer repeated questions about the nature of the absence other than to clarify it was not a "suspension."

His departure follows an executive session held by the Selectmen last Wednesday to discuss a personnel matter other than professional competence, including health or discipline, or dismissal.

A request for further information on whether Kelley's leaving was through resignation or termination was not provided, or whether his contract had been paid out.

"The Town does not comment on personnel matters and will have no further comment on this matter at this time," responded Selectmen Chair John Duval via email on Friday.

Kelley, who moved here to take the post of chief in 2021, has reportedly sold his home.
