Looking for nominees

Columbia High School will hold its first-ever Athletic Hall of Fame inductions during the Lampeter-Strasburg football game.

Nomination forms for the Hall of Fame are available at any of the Columbia school district buildings, Smith’s Hotel, 1035 Lancaster Ave., Hinkle’s Pharmacy, Third and Locust streets, the Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce, 445 Linden St., and the office of the Columbia Ledger, 262 Locust St.

Anyone can nominated a person for the Hall of Fame, you picking up a nomination form.

The nomination forms will be available until April 30. After that, the committee will meet and vote on the first class of inductees.

The nomination form asks those nominating a person write in 250 words or less why an individual or team be considered for the Hall of Fame.

While there is a maximum number of inductees that can be enshrined each year, the committee hasn’t decided on how many people will be inducted at the Sept. 19 football game.
