Triangle of Treasures will spotlight local organizations BY CATHY MOLITORIS
n Saturday, June 3, the Triangle of Treasures is coming to Columbia. The festivities will include events and activities at three locations in town. Holy Trinity Catholic Church will hold an Art, Craft and Yard Sale at Janson Park, 650 Cherry St., Columbia. CBAA will host a yard sale and chicken barbecue at Glatfelter Memorial Field, 1249 Lancaster Ave.,
O
and Mixed Medley will host a Craft/Vendor/Rummage Sale at Columbia Animal Shelter, 265 S. 10th St. All three events will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. “ When we learned that the Columbia Animal Shelter and CBAA also had events planned, our initial thought was to have one large event, but because of some circumstances out of our control, we realized that wouldn’t be able to happen,” said Janelle Barninger,
committee member of the Saint Matthew Ministry at Holy Trinity. “So, the next-best idea was to advertise all three events together. The hope is that when the event day comes, the community will visit all three locations and see what all the vendors coming into our small town have to offer.” At Holy Trinity’s event, there will be a variety of items for sale, many of which are handmade by the vendors. Items will include home

“Columbia is a very patriotic town,” said Kevin Kraft, who is organizing the Columbia Memorial Day ceremony and parade with Bob Herman. “It has been a tradition to have a Memorial Day parade in Columbia since World War II. At one point, Columbia had the largest Memorial Day parade in the county.” This year’s ceremony and parade will take place on Sunday, May 28. From noon to 1 p.m., the Bainbridge Band will perform a concert in the gazebo in Locust Street Park, 550 Locust St. At 1 p.m., the ceremony will begin at the gazebo. The keynote speaker will be Judge Leonard G. Brown III. A graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Brown served as a combat engineer officer in Alaska. After completing law school, he transferred to the Judge Advocate General’s Corps in the Army Reserves, from which he retired after 28 years of service. He currently serves as a trial judge in the Second Judicial District of Pennsylvania’s Court of Common Pleas, which encompasses Lancaster. At 2:30 p.m., the parade will step off from 10th and Manor streets. It will feature four divisions and will include participation from a variety of service organizations based in Columbia.
