Did the cameras catch this?

More inane graffiti recently appeared on this bench and elsewhere in Locust Street Park. Did the surveillance cameras catch who did it?

We hope so.

Columbia runners take home medals at Saturday's Invitational

Columbia runners took home medals on Saturday at the Ben Bloser Bulldog Invitational Cross Country Classic at Big Spring High School in Newville, PA. Jordan Haberstroh won first in the girls' Class A race, and Codie Wetherite came in 18th in the boys' Class A race. Runners from Donegal, Hempfield, York Suburban, Camp Hill, and others participated in the run which lasted until 2 p.m. in sweltering conditions. About half a dozen unregistered schools showed up, pushing back the 11:15 a.m. medal ceremony.

Runners from various local districts participated on Saturday.

Columbia's Jordan Haberstroh, second from left, placed first in the girls' Class A race.

 Runners took refuge from the sun.

The 11:15 medal ceremony was delayed until early afternoon due to unregistered schools and other complications.

Results are HERE.

"Movie Under the Stars" Update!

Sounds like a lot of people are looking forward to coming to the movies at the River Park on Saturday, September 26th at sunset! So, in addition to having a fun time under the stars, let's support Columbia Food Bank with donations of canned goods, peanut butter, etc. With the cold weather coming they need to stock up. 

See you at the movies!

Thank you!

"Movie Under the Stars” Set For Columbia River Park

On Saturday, September 26, 2015 at 7:15 PM, on the lawn at the River Park, the Big Screen is coming to Columbia! Come enjoy “The NeverEnding Story,” shown on a crowd-sized movie screen, with the the Veterans Memorial Bridge and the rapidly setting sun as a backdrop. Bring your blankets, lawn chairs, kids and neighbors. The movie presentation, “The NeverEnding Story” (PG) is a 1984 fantasy classic about a boy, Bastian Balthazar Bux who, while running away from the school roughnecks, ducks into an antique book store where he finds a book called The NeverEnding Story. He takes the book and hides in his school's attic, where he begins to read. What happens next is amazing! 

We all miss the drive-in and this is as close as we’ll get for now. We anticipate that this will be the first of many “Movies Under the Stars” events in Columbia. 

The rain date is Sunday, September 27th at sunset. 

Thanks to Columbia Borough Parks and Recreation and Susquehanna Center for the Creative Arts for sponsoring this event.

We really appreciate the community support!!
