Event is postponed

NOTE: Event has been postponed until a later date.

Mark Thursday, Sept. 16 at 6 p.m. on your calendars.
There will be a tree planting in Locust Street Park to recognize Columbia citizens, who were instrumental in the burning of the wooden bridge that connected Columbia and Wrightsville during the Civil War back in 1863.
The Columbia Shade Tree Commission is putting together the program, which will include the planting of a Liberty Tree Elm in honor of John Q. Denny, John Lockhard, Jacob Miller and Jacob Ruth.
The program is still in the planning stages but representatives from the Columbia Shade Tree Commission, the borough, Columbia Historic Preservation Society and Rivertownes PA USA are expected to speak.
