About Columbia Sportswear
Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of ski-wear in the United States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company.

Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that, it wasn't long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. They introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then 60-year-old Gert began her role as "Mother Boyle" in Columbia's successful and popular advertising campaign.

The company went public in 1998 and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.

Customer Review: It's very light weight.
I did not expect it to be as light weight as it is but it does keep me warm.
Customer Review: Columbia Fleece Sleeping Bag
Great quality and excellent for single use or lining of another bag. We find that it suits our needs in Florida when camping in the winter. Packs in a small carrier bag. Good product!

A secluded and joyful Maryland wedding reception would take you to Kent Manor Inn with their beautifully decorated Victorian style Inn. Delight your guests with the 24 guest rooms available, all of which are decorated and furnished with intricate care and classical decor. Each of the guest rooms consist of a fireplace, a four-poster bed with balconies overlooking a scenic garden view. All these warm and cozy facilities will make your wedding reception an event that your guests and you will never forget. Most importantly, a fine-dining restaurant will be certain to thrill your guests with a wedding reception dinner or a luncheon with exquisite cuisine.

Kent Manor Inns wedding reception packages include a rehearsal dinner, a five hour open bar, domestic cheese presentation garnished with fresh fruit and served with crackers and a champagne toast. Their glass-enclosed garden house can accommodate 150 guests while their gardens can be transformed into an outdoor reception area accommodating up to 300 guests with erected tents. With this, your wedding reception in Maryland will be the ultimate dream reception that any bride and groom can imagine.

Another interesting wedding reception venue in Maryland is the Aspen Wye River Conference Center, owned by the Aspen Institute and managed by The Marriott International. Wye River distinctively provides you with an outdoor wedding reception surrounded by a serene view of a lush cherry groove, trees and hidden creek. In addition to that, Aspen Wye River is home to a series of beautiful and grand guest rooms, with delicious cuisine served by their food and beverage team coupled with high quality service to create memorable Maryland wedding receptions.

For your wedding reception, you can choose from the three distinctive centers contained within this grand venue: Wye Woods, River House and Houghton House. Wye Woods is serene and relaxed, situated on the banks of the Wye River with a maximum capacity of 30 to 50 guests at one time. For a more private wedding reception with a modern interior motif, the wedding couple can opt for the River House which caters only to small groups of 20 to 26 guests only. Lastly, the Houghton House offers a unique Georgian mansion setting furnished with great antiques and surrounded by gardens of 18th century style, just perfect to create a wedding with an 18th century theme.

If these two scenic venues do not fit your preferences, there are many more sites you can survey in Maryland. For instance, if you are considering a waterfront location, there is the Altoona Banquet Hall located in Pasadena with lush surroundings and two banquet halls for the wedding guests. You can even organize a Maryland wedding reception on board a yacht in Baltimore, such as on board the Lady Baltimore which can house up to 450 guests at one time.
