Santa's at the bridge and he needs your help

Santa's back in town. He's down at the Veterans Memorial Bridge, where he'll be all week, collecting toys for tots. With the help of 961SOX, he'll be working every day until 6 p.m. receiving toys before staying overnight in a trailer near Columbia Rotary Park. Santa hopes to reach his goal of 5,000 new, unwrapped toys in the annual Toys for Tots campaign.

One-man band performs at Sunday market

Sounding like several musicians at once, one-man band Nick DiSanto played the Columbia Market house today to the delight of visitors. With a Gretsch resonator guitar and a variety of other instruments (including a harmonica and bass drum), DiSanto played a number of classic popular songs during his performance.

He'll be performing at the Market House again next Sunday.

Sunday Market will continue into 2016.

Santa Claus came to town this morning

Santa Claus came to Columbia Saturday morning to the joy of his adoring fans who braved the cold to await his arrival. The venerable old elf rode through town on a vintage 1948 fire truck owned by the Columbia Borough Fire Department as children led the way. Before returning to the North Pole, he traveled to the former Viggies firehouse where breakfast was served to his hungry followers.

Breakfast was sponsored by the CCFD Auxiliary Columbia QRS.
