Vendors needed for Market House Fall Festival

Vendors Needed!

Arts and crafts vendors wanted.

Looking especially for arts and crafts vendors for this event.

The Historic Columbia Market House is hosting a one to three-day Fall Festival special event! You can choose to participate for one, two or three days. Columbia has a Mardi Gras/Halloween parade on the first night of the festival at 7PM  just one block away and there is always a busy crowd on that night! This year we want to carry that excitement of the festival throughout the weekend!

What is the trust job? Here we have a stand holder as a contact for this event. The market house is pathetic. Now that TJ's has left is not worth my time anymore to go there.

Maybe they will let the Columbia Historic Society run their Antique & Craft Show. They were kicked out of the market five years ago due to the vendors, well most of the vendors are gone now. That show I believe was the Sunday after Thanksgiving and brought many visitors to town.

It is probably not the type of even or the type of people the trust would want in THEIR market house.

Why not name the Market Eliteville because the elite on the trust do not want the hard working people from Columbia in their Market, they want the elite, non-Columbia people. Just look at their proposal to the council, don't be fooled, these people hate Columbia.

TJs submitted a letter dated August 29, 2015 stating they were leaving. It was their decision. The Trust did not force them out.

The Trust is nothing more then one extra layer of Bureaucracy, The Borough should lease the building to the private sector and get their hands and the truss hands out of business operations

The trust isn't up to anything.
It's the vendor at market that are putting on this event and have put on the events over the past year plus... It's away to get vendors into market ad provide other products to the community. When these events go on it gives a potential vendor to try and see if they would like to come and be a permanent vendor.
Don't know if you know it or not but it tough to get vendors when there's no foot traffic and negativity all the time. The NEGATIVITY NEEDS TO STOP! It only hurts the businesses that are there...
That's right they are business and trying to make a living!

Maybe the old vendors didn't want to but the newer permanent stand holders do!!! It's a way to drive in business, get potential vendors and variety of products that the community seeks...

^^^^---- You are so wrong with that statement...If you read all the statements in this blog and out on other social medias you can see who the "true haters" are. They want to provide a great market experience for the community but with statement like you are telling just makes it harder for the trust or anyone to get the place going!
If it's such an easy task to get market thriving then I suggest all or even challenge the "Nillies" out there to make a change and get on the Trust as a member or even on the Borough Council and make a difference instead of being the arm chair QB or coach... You got all the great ideas then apply yourself and those ideas... Oh thats's right you don't want to be on the receiving end of the rock throwing!

Did you know that some of the vendors have full-time employment to supplement their stands and that they can only be at market certain days or vendors do get sick too just like everyone else in life
All are so quick to throw crap out there. Here's a fact that most of the vendors that believe in the market are from outside of Columbia like Mountville, Wrightsville, Millersville and Lancaster...
Where's all the "Local's" with there businesses?

Columbia's decision to ban former employee from its property may be 'unconstitutional' [Lancaster Watchdog]

By Columbia Spy -
Image
Chris Vera [Columbia Spy file photo] The following information is excerpted from a December 6, 2025 LNP Watchdog article by LNP | LancasterOnline reporter Jade Campos. Still reeling from an abrupt firing from his role as head of the Columbia Market House in March, Chris Vera was surprised to get a letter in the mail from a Columbia Borough attorney two weeks later telling him he was banned indefinitely from borough property. The letter gave no reason for the ban. Nine months later, Vera, who has served as president of the Columbia Historic Preservation Society for more than a decade and has helped with the borough’s comprehensive plan, is still banned from borough property. He believes the ban includes borough parks, which is part of the reason he moved his annual Albatwitch Day festival, which celebrates the myth of a local cryptid, to Wrightsville. Vera said he’s not sure why the borough went to such lengths to keep him away from public spaces given his termination from the borough s...

NATHAN WILLISON | LNP Staff Writer An East Donegal Township man is facing criminal charges after police say he struck a 13-year-old with his truck and fled the scene last month.  Derek Scott Mohr, 28, is charged with causing an accident involving death or injury without a license, failing to stop to render aid, driving at an unsafe speed and related charges.  Mohr had been driving a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado through Chestnut Street in Columbia around 8 p.m. March 20 when he struck a 13-year-old boy riding a motorized scooter and continued driving, according to charging documents filed by police.  When police arrived, they found the boy with a broken leg and a cut to his forehead. His scooter was lying nearby, its handlebars completely snapped off.  Another teenager who witnessed what happened described the truck to police and said that the driver made no attempt to stop after striking the boy. Surveillance footage collected from the area shows the truck striking the b...

Mayor Lutz must accept responsibility

By Columbia Spy -

  GUEST COMMENTARY [Name withheld by request out of fear of retaliation] For two decades, Leo Lutz has occupied the mayor's office in Columbia, and his supporters are quick to credit him with every positive development in our borough, but leadership is a two-way street. If Mayor Lutz is going to accept praise for Columbia's successes, many of which, frankly, he had little direct involvement in, then he must also be held accountable for our failures. The facts paint a troubling picture. Despite the mayor's repeated assurances that our streets are safe, we've witnessed a disturbing rise in assaults, shootings, and vandalism. His promises have fallen by the wayside: the foot patrol we were promised never materialized, nor did the bike patrol that was supposed to increase our sense of security. Fiscally, the situation is equally dire. Taxes have increased at least twice during Mayor Lutz's tenure, yet the borough now finds itself millions of dollars in debt. This isn...
