Soiree On The Susquehanna BY CATHY MOLITORIS
“A lot of people think the Susquehanna River divides Lancaster and York counties, but I like to think of it as a zipper,” said Bill Wright, director of community giving for Susquehanna National Heritage Area (NHA). “It’s a connector. It brings us together.” The river will take center stage when Susquehanna NHA holds its Summer Soiree Redux beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 20. The event will take place at River’s Edge at Long Level, 1829 Long Level Road, Wrightsville. Organizers are calling it a “Redux” because last year’s event had to be canceled, Wright explained, noting the Summer See Soiree pg 4

Fête Will Keep Cemetery In The Black BY CATHY MOLITORIS
he Mount Bethel Cemetery in Columbia is the final resting place of many people who played key roles in Columbia’s history. You can help preserve that history by attending Fête en Noir, a fundraiser organized by the Friends of Mount Bethel Cemetery. The event will be held on Friday,
T
Aug. 13, in the cemetery, located at 700 Locust St. Entrance to the grounds will be available beginning at 5:30 p.m., followed by a bringyour-own-picnic from 6 to 9 p.m. The event was inspired by similar local fundraisers, said Kathy Hohenadel, a member of the Friends group. “We saw the Fête en Blanc, which is held in Lancaster, and we thought, ‘What a cool idea,’”
she recalled. “Since we’re doing this in a cemetery, we decided to do Fête en Noir and encourage people to wear black.” Looking at the calendar this year, the Friends saw that a Friday the 13th will occur in August, and they thought it made the perfect date for the event. Participants should bring their own picnic food to the Fête en Noir and
should also make reservations as a group, Hohenadel noted, adding, “We’ll reserve tables and seat people by their group, whether it’s a group of four or a group of eight, or whatever size.” Music will be provided by a DJ, and participants will have the opportunity to hit the dance floor or stroll the grounds and take in the cemetery’s beauty.
