For the sixth consecutive year,
local waste service company, J. P. Mascaro & Sons, will be sponsoring
Norristown’s Columbus Day Celebration.
The event will be held on Monday, October 12, 2015 at 11:15 a.m. at the
Borough’s beautiful Christopher Columbus Commemorative Monument in the Elmwood
Park at Harding Boulevard and Sterigere Street. This years keynote speaker for
the event will be Judge Emiddio Giordano.
Also,
for event attendees, Mascaro will be hosting a Luncheon immediately following
the ceremony at its Corporate Headquarters building at 2650 Audubon Road,
Audubon, Pennsylvania, in Lower Providence Township.
Largely
through the efforts of Norristown’s Ambassador, Hank Cisco, and the “Hello
Columbus Monument Committee” he headed, the Christopher Columbus Monument was
constructed 23 years ago to commemorate Columbus’s discovery of America on
October 12, 1492.Every year since, a
Columbus Day Celebration has been held at the Monument. The Monument has been upgraded over the years
and last year a commemorative plaque was added to the site honoring
Ambassador’s Cisco’s efforts.
The
Columbus Day event is always entertaining and uplifting and this year will be
no different, and the authentic Italian food at Mascaro’s post-event Luncheon
will top off an enjoyable celebration.Plan to join other area residents at this unique celebration.
