They are the Susquehanna Waldorf School in Marietta, Little People Day Care in Columbia, and Park Elementary School and Our Lady of the Angels Catholic School in Columbia.

Making fasnachts was a 40-year tradition for this Columbia family

For 40-plus years, it was a tradition for her family to make fasnachts at the Columbia church that is Lancaster County's "Fasnacht Central."
Former Columbian Josetta Grimes, now of Ohio, submitted this photo of her mother Bernice Stein (on the left) and her aunt, Rosemary Donnelly, who are twins, with NBC-TV's Williard Scott when the "Today Show" weatherman came to Columbia to broadcast in 1989.
The whole family has helped with fasnacht-making at Columbia's Holy Trinity Catholic Church for years, Grimes recalls.
