The Columbia Homecoming Festival is an annual weekend celebration of fun-filled activities. It is
proudly hosted by The Columbia Chamber of Commerce, which is a non-profit 501(c)
(6) organization. The Columbia Homecoming Festival relies on sponsorships and
donations to help fund the events. Individuals and/or organizations may sponsor the
festival at any level, up to the most recognized “SPECIAL EVENT SPONSOR”.
Your sponsorships and donations make these events possible: fireworks display,
family-friendly entertainment, the Parade, eating contests, prizes and awards, Kid’s
Day games, inflatables and bounce houses and much more!
The Columbia Chamber of Commerce members are part of the local community and share their passion for
supporting the causes most important to their neighborhoods. Proceeds from the festival help to support
the community, food banks, boy and girl scouts, Fire Department, park enhancement, scholarships,
school activities and various other local organizations.
To find out how rewarding being a supporter can be, just ask our 2017 sponsors. A special “thank you”

“The Second Time Around,” by Henry Denker. It is the second
time around for senior citizens Samuel Jonas and Laura Curtis,
a widower and a widow who strike up a love affair. The po-
tential loss of social security benefits make living in sin more
attractive than tying the knot; that is until their grown children
become involved. The erstwhile couple’s offspring are not free
of neuroses themselves, shown clearly as they raise their ob-
jections to what they perceive to be their parents’ precarious
situation. Laughs will abound as this comedy unfolds.
Performances are May, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20. Shows now
start at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday matinees are at 3 p.m. Doors open 45
minutes before show time. Tickets are $15 each. Group rates
available.

This project will begin in May and finish at the end of Au-
gust. Distribution of supplies will be through Well-Help and
the Southern Satellite Office and the Lorain County Office on
Aging. Each participant will receive a production log tracking

with pest or disease management if necessary.
Apply now to grow your own produce! To apply, send your
