<p>COLUMBIA — Columbia got a brush with national fame this week as American Idol winner Hannah Harper made a visit to downtown, stopping in at the Downtown Barbershop alongside runner-up Noah Peters. Both Visit Columbia TN and Columbia Main Street celebrated the visit on social media, welcoming the newly crowned champion to the square.</p><p>Harper's win on the long-running competition show gave Columbia bragging rights rarely seen in a city of its size. Columbia Main Street noted the visit with pride, pointing out that Harper and Peters made time to experience the charm of the historic downtown district — the kind of real-deal Southern Americana that no television set can fully capture. We're proud to call this corner of Tennessee home, and apparently, so are a few rising stars.</p>
