BY CAT SHANNON

“People can come and enjoy a beautiful day along the river and support local businesses, meet fantastic people, have some delicious food and it’s kid-friendly,” said April Geesey, owner of Spitfire Events, describing Smoke on the Susquehanna Market. “What a great way to

shake those winter blues, to come walk around and see what the community offers.”

Smoke on the Susquehanna will be held at John Wright Restaurant, 234 N. Front St., Wrightsville, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 19.

The event will feature about 100 vendors that are local small businesses, along with numerous food

trucks, face painting, a balloon artist and opportunities to support a local organization through giveaways.

“All proceeds are donated to Building Bridges for Brianna,” Geesey said. “They will be set up there, helping spread the word on suicide prevention.”

Geesey noted that the idea for the event came after she started

“We thought hosting events would be a great way to do that,” she said. “We wanted to bring other businesses together and be able to have the community support them in this beautiful location along the river. And we know a lot of people miss the Bridge Bust they used to have before COVID, so we thought this would be another way to kind of bring that back in a smaller version.”

Appell Center Plans Fundraiser

The Appell Center for the Performing Arts, 50 N. George St., York, will host GALAvant 1925, the sixth iteration of its signature fundraising celebration, on Saturday, May 9. The event will take place in the Appell Center’s historic Strand Theatre.

Since launching in 2017, GALAvant has brought supporters of the arts together for live entertainment, immersive décor, and interactive experiences. The Appell Center is a nonprofit organization, and proceeds from the event help the organization to bring stage performances to York and make arts education more accessible for everyone in the community.

Past GALAvant themes have included “Casablanca,” “Moulin Rouge,” “Mardi Gras,” and “The 1980s.” This year’s theme is “1925,” drawing inspiration from the year the Strand Theatre first opened in York and serving as a final bow to

the theater’s centennial anniversary season.

GALAvant guests are invited to explore the historic theater in a new way, discovering Roaring Twenties-era influences, vintage-inspired spaces, and themed activities throughout the building. Guests are encouraged to dress in themed attire, and the event will feature live music from York’s Uptown Band. This year’s GALAvant will include the addition of both a silent auction and a Fund a Need initiative benefiting the Appell Center’s Education Endowment Fund. The fund was designed to offer long-term support for the organization’s growing list of arts education programs like Stage the Page, Tot Rock, Antonio’s Imagination Hour, Dance Lab, and summer camps.

dual-use pickleball court and street hockey rink. In 2025, a facelift of the large pavilion commenced, including a new metal roof and painting. Kitchen upgrades at the large pavilion will be completed in 2026.

“New doors will soon be installed on most buildings,” Gamby shared. “There is always something to do at a property this size.”

The brick entryway to the field was constructed in 1936, and a sport complex on the land was built by the Workers Progress Administration, providing employment for area residents during the Great Depression. At the time, the gate led to grounds that included a grandstand, a football field, a baseball field and tennis courts.

In 1937, the field was

dedicated to the memory of Lt. Richard Glatfelter, a Columbia High School graduate and member of the Class of 1933 at West Point. He was killed in a car accident during his first assignment at Fort Dix, N.J. David L. Glatfelter, Richard’s father, donated the land in honor of his son.

Columbia High School athletics used the field and played in a stadium on the grounds until 1963, when the school moved its playing fields to its current campus on Ironville Pike. The field also hosted the Columbia Raiders, a semiprofessional football team, in the early 1960s. Several community celebrations have been held on the site over the decades, including the closing ceremonies for the 1938 Columbia Sesquicentennial Celebration and the

1988 Columbia Bicentennial Celebration. On the first anniversary of 9/11, the Glatfelter Memorial Trust, working with the Columbia Borough Shade Tree Commission, planted nine trees on the west side of the park and 11 trees on the east side in memory of the Americans who died during the terrorist attack.

Today, the park includes a large pavilion, a small pavilion, basketball courts, football and baseball fields and a track. It is used by a variety of groups throughout the year, including CBAA baseball and softball teams. Additionally, community members have reserved the facility for events such as a community Easter egg hunt, birthday parties and reunions.

Gamby noted that providing up-to-date facilities and activities for the community is an ongoing challenge for the board.

“Since Glatfelter Memorial Field is not a municipal park and does not receive any municipal or government funding, we rely on the rental of the facility and generous donations to maintain and make improvements,” she said.

A major fundraiser for

the field is the annual golf tournament. This year’s event will be held at Cool Creek Golf Club, 300 Cool Creek Road, Wrightsville, on Friday, Sept. 25, with an 8 a.m. tee time. Opportunities for support include participating as a golfer, providing sponsorship or donating items for a giveaway.

“In 2025, almost $13,000 was raised by the golf outing to add to other generous donations, which allowed for the installation of new doors,” Gamby stated.

The field will also be the site of two upcoming community events.

“We are pleased to be the location for two 300th Wrights Ferry/Columbia anniversary events,” Gamby said. “On Saturday, June 6, a celebration will be held after the Lancaster County Firefighters Parade in Columbia, and on Saturday, July 4, a Fourth of July celebration will be sponsored by Columbia Borough. These will be two great events to celebrate our town’s 300th anniversary.”

Gamby emphasized that the longevity of the park would not be possible without help from the community.

“We appreciate the public’s help in keeping the property safe, clean and family friendly,” she said, adding that policies such as prohibiting dogs, alcohol and drugs at the park help to keep it in good shape. “The community is grateful to the Glatfelter family for their generous gift that has provided much enjoyment to the community for decades and thanks the family members that remain involved with the operation now and in the future. We would like to thank all of our volunteers, donors, renters and the community for creating a great experience for all at Glatfelter Memorial Field.”

Anyone who is interested in sponsoring or participating in the golf tournament may email glatfeltermemorialfield@ gmail.com.

Civil War Diorama to Open

Historic Wrightsville’s Civil War Diorama, located at 124 Hellam St., will open its doors to the public on Sunday, April 12, and successive Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. through October.

The diorama features a visual display of the Confederate advance and the burning of the bridge in June 1863. When Confederate soldiers under Gen. John B. Gordon reached Wrightsville and sought a way across the Susquehanna River, partially trained local militia used makeshift fortifications and endeavored to stop them. The Wrightsville-Columbia Bridge, one of the longest covered bridges in the world, was burned to stop the eastern advance of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s army. The diorama also tells of the cooperation between the residents and the invaders to save the town from fire. Guides will be on hand at the diorama to answer questions.

There is an admission fee. For more information, contact the museum at 717-252-1169 or email historicwrightsville1983@gmail.com.
