Vendors sought for Columbia antique, art and craft show
LANCASTERONLINE
The Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce will host the 33rd annual Antique, Art & Craft Show on June 29 in Columbia.
Slated to coincide with the sesquicentennial commemoration of the burning of the wooden covered bridge that spanned the river during the Civil War, this outdoor event is anticipated to receive increased foot traffic over previous years' shows.
Along with antiques, the show features, artwork, photography, crafters of jewelry, pottery, primitives, furniture and textiles.
Vendor spaces are available along Locust Street or in Locust Street Park. The event, which runs from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 pm, is held rain or shine.
Free parking and shuttle service are available to shoppers. Proceeds from the show benefit the Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center, a non-profit organization representing the river towns of Columbia, Marietta and Wrightsville.
For a vendor application visit www.PaRivertowns.com or call 684-5249. Please note that no commercial food vendors are accepted; food concessions are handled by local non-profit organizations.

Columbia celebrates Earth Day all week

This year Earth Day began an entire week of green fun and spring cleaning for Columbia residents.
Mayor Leo Lutz proclaimed that Columbia borough would celebrate Earth Day, now in its 43rd year, on Monday, April 22.
But the real festivities don't get going until Friday when PPL will once again send 40 volunteers to clean up and make repairs to facilities in borough parks.

What I Saw - Tuesday, April 23, 2013
This rotting possum has been lying near the Herbert "Cubby" Spiese Bridge for about two weeks. Originally, it was lying in the middle of the highway after most likely being hit by a car. A few days later, it had been moved to its present location. As can be seen from the photo, the carcass is attracting flies and will soon start "growing" maggots. Besides, it looks undignified lying there among the cigarette butts and other debris, although the dandelion seems somehow appropriate. Do we have a critter control officer to take this away before it becomes more of a nuisance or a public health issue?
Trainspotting
Sunday, April 21, 2013: Heritage train travels through Columbia on the NS Port Road, pulling oil tanker cars, after embarking from Georgia.
Trainspotters gathered along the tracks near River Park to watch and record the passing train.
