Santa Claus Headed To Columbia For Small Business Saturday | TownLively

This year, Christmas festivities in Columbia Borough - including a day full of public appearances by Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and their elves - will coincide with Small Business Saturday on Nov. 30. Recognized in towns and cities across the country, Small Business Saturday is an effort to encourage people to patronize small, locally owned businesses. As an added incentive, parking will be free in downtown Columbia on Small Business Saturday.

Large crane to occupy street at 4th & Locust - November 21 & 22

Pyramid Construction is planning to lift materials to the roof of the new building’s steel superstructure at 401 Locust Street on Thursday/Friday, November 21-22, 2019. A crane (larger than the previous one) will be situated in the street to perform the work. The intended timeline is two (2) days, weather permitting, with the specific goal to finish late Friday (11/22). Flagger Force traffic control personnel will provide support and signage at strategic places in the one to two block area to minimize convergence of traffic when the crane is operational in the street. 

 After the Thursday workday the crane will be staged in the north parking lane of Locust Street to allow overnight traffic to flow normally. Friday work will again start early and close the street until roof material loading is completed.

Winter coats needed for Columbia students in grades 5 through 12

Columbia Borough School District is in need of Winter coats for students in grades 5-12. If you have unused coats in good condition please consider donating it/them.

Here is more information from Superintendent Strickler:

Good Evening to Columbia Borough School District Community Partners:

The weather has turned cold very quickly.  Two years ago (2017), you helped our students obtain winter coats.  The response was so great, that the coat donations lasted until now.

At the high school and middle school level (grades 5 through 12), we gave our last coat away this week.  We still have coats remaining at the elementary level.

Our students ages 10 through 18 are in need of winter coats – male and female, all sizes.

If you know of any new or slightly used winter coats – young people style – and would like to donate them to the District, please contact me or drop them off at the District office (200 N 5th St,. Columbia, PA).  If you need items picked up, a phone call to me and it will happen!

Thank you in advance for everything you do for the students of Columbia.  Together, we are making Champions – ONE student at a Time!

Come out and cheer our youth CBAA football players this Saturday

If you’re looking for something to do this Saturday 11/16 come out and cheer our youth CBAA C team football players on as they play in the championship game. The game starts at 3 pm at Manheim Township. Even if you’re unable to make it to the game show your support by coming out to cheer them on as the Columbia Police/Fire Department escorts them out of town. We will be leaving Glatfelters at 1 PM driving down Locust to Third and over Third to Route 30. Let’s show these kids and coaches how proud we are of them.
