We missed the real news about the Santastic display at the mall. It replaced the traditional poinsettia tree that's been a staple of holidays past for more than 30 years, according to this story in the Flier.
The mall folks apparently donated the wire frame to the symphony of lights for its outdoor display, sans plants of course.
Which doesn't seem quite the same somehow.
Anyway, the mall's move made history, according to this e-mail from the folks in town center.
"History is all around us – even in what we call a new town. Columbia Archives Manager Barbara Kellner will share the story of some historic treasures in a slide show tour on Tuesday, December 11 at 7pm at Historic Oakland in Columbia.
"The program will highlight Columbia’s ties to its agrarian past and the world of horse racing. It will also include some of Columbia’s more recent history including the recent demise of a long-time Columbian tradition, the Poinsettia Tree at the Mall in Columbia.
"The program is free, but registration is encouraged. For more information and to register, please contact Barbara Kellner at Columbia.Archives@ColumbiaAssociation.com or call 410.715.3103. Historic Oakland is located at 5430 Vantage Point Road in Columbia."
