Art & Wine Heist Will Benefit Shelter BY CATHY MOLITORIS
If live entertainment plus food, art and wine in a beautiful setting sounds like the recipe for a fun night, check out the Art & Wine Heist, to benefit the Columbia Animal Shelter. The event will be held on Friday, Oct. 21, from 6 to 9 p.m. at River’s Edge at Long Level, 1829 Long Level Road, Wrightsville.
“People can expect a fantastic evening by the water,” said Tammy Jalbert, executive director of the shelter. “(They will have) a chance to bid on different medias of artwork from photos, drawings, paintings, stained glass, wood carvings and more. There truly is something for just about everyone.” All art is donated by local artists, both amateur and professional, she noted. See Art pg 3

Getting Crafty For A Cause BY CATHY MOLITORIS
or years, people looked forward to the annual Bridge Bust, a craft and vendor show held on the Route 462 bridge across the Susquehanna River. When that event ended a few years ago, Kim Rightnour stepped up to fill the void. Rightnour, the owner of Kim’s Prim co in Columbia, is organizing the Chickies Rock Women of the Moose Crafting for a Cause Fall Craft Show. The event will be held on Saturday, Oct. 1, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Columbia River Park, 41 Walnut St. “We are 100% crafts, and everything our crafters sell is handmade,” Rightnour noted. “Almost everything is local, sourced locally and handmade locally. These are one-ofa-kind items.” This year’s show will feature many returning crafters and several new ones, she remarked. Participants will
benefit the projects of Columbia Moose Lodge, including donations to local food banks and holiday programs, as well as national programs. Moose International supports Mooseheart, a group home for children, and Moosehaven, a retirement community. Rightnour said the craft show is the perfect opportunity for the Women of the Moose to underscore the group’s mission while providing people with a fun shopping experience. “We are an extremely community-oriented group, so it’s important for us to be involved in our community,” she stated. “The setting for this show is beautiful. We love showing off the river park. It’s gorgeous. And our crafters will have lots of items to start your holiday shopping - from Halloween items to Thanksgiving and Christmas items.” For more information on the craft show, search for “Crafting for a Cause Holiday Craft Show” on Facebook.
