We're going to "set back" for a spell


Columbia Spy will be in "Setback Mode" for the next week or so, meaning that it will be operating in a low-energy, Ben Carson-like state while we undergo much-needed maintenance. We will still post the occasional announcement - or even a major story, if one occurs - and will return to full operating strength in the near future.

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.

The National Watch and Clock Museum is operated by the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(3) association with over 14,000 members, representing 52 countries. April through November the Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.  December through March hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. From Memorial Day through Labor Day the Museum is also open on Mondays. Discounts are available to seniors, students, AAA members, and groups of 10 or more. Groups of 10 or more are encouraged to call ahead.  For more program information, directions, or general Museum information, call 717-684-8261 or visit our website at www.museumoftime.org.
