National Watch and Clock Museum to hold Witching Hour Halloween Ball October 31

Welcome all witches and creatures of fright, devils, demons, and ghouls of the night! Like a witch on her broomstick, time will fly on October 31 as the National Watch and Clock Museum holds its first Witching Hour Halloween Ball.

On this Daylight Saving Time weekend join the Museum from 7 to 10 p.m. as it marks the end of daylight saving time with mysterious music, devilish drinks, and hallowing hors doeuvres.  A haunting hearse will welcome each guest to the Museum, and a spooky signature drink will be available at the cash bar. Costumes always add to the fun and are strongly encouraged, but not required. Parisan and Sons Entertainment will provide the dance music, and media sponsor 96.1 SOX will announce winners of several categories for best costume.

Tickets for this 21 and over event are $15 per person and $25 per couple and may be purchased by calling 717-684-8261 ext. 211 or visiting museumoftime.org.

Wrightsville Police seeking help in identifying men in fraudulent use of a credit card


Wrightsville Police are seeking help from the public in identifying two people they believe fraudulently used a borough resident's credit card at stores in Lancaster County.
The resident reported to police that he lost between $600 to $700 when his debit card information was used to make purchases at two Kmart stores — Columbia and Willow Street — and a Nike Outlet store in Lancaster County, Officer Michael Carpenter said.
The purchases — mainly prepaid Visa gift cards — were made on Sept. 28, he said.
Police believe the resident's credit card information may have been obtained through a skimming device, Carpenter said.

Truckers concerned about Route 441 bypass

COLUMBIA, Pa. (WHTM) – Michael Venker, a trucker who dropped off a load of copper in Columbia on Tuesday, told ABC 27 News the ramp for the Route 441 bypass looks "daunting."

The ramp, set to open later this month, is part of a $12 million project designed to keep truck traffic out of the downtown. However, the appearance of a steep ramp may be steep enough to cause concerns.
