Pennsylvania Magazine features Columbia
Smoke and fire on Fourth Friday
Columbia's Fourth Friday celebration featured several galleries, events, and refreshments. The 400 block of Locust was shut down for the event.
Several musicians played at various spots along the street.
Some of the music was drowned out by noisy generators used to power food trucks.
Shortly into the event, a large plume of smoke erupted down at the river. A few minutes later, fire personnel were called to the scene.
Firemen found more open burning at the Canoe Club.
Caring for Heritage at Columbia River Park
Dozens attended Saturday's Caring for Heritage, a celebration of local history helping area non profits raise funds for their organizations. Participants included The Lancaster Fencibles, Invalid Corp, Susquehanna Gateway Heritage, and Columbia Historic Preservation Society. The event at Columbia River Park included reenactors, demonstrations, sale items, exhibits, and refreshments.
A reencator showed this American(?) Flag he recently bought at Root's Market. Apparently, the 40-something number of stars represent our 40-something number of states, and the 44 stripes represent the original 44 colonies. Would anyone be upset if this "flag" were burned, since it's already a desecration?
