A poem by Jack Baker-2019 A fire at midnight on a frigid winter's night took our Village Hall and Library in spite of a valiant fight Both the Library and Village Hall were very well used, bringing culture and order and a place to exchange views. But Barker will bounce back, we always do In spite of the challenges small town pride and determination will show through. We will rebuild, replacing our loss. We will act quickly with a pleasing design and appreciate cost. The Village Hall will now be at 1697 East Avenue and open 9:00am-Noon and 1:00pm-4:00pm Monday through Friday Call 795-3777 Please look on social media to see the most current updates on Barker Village Fire 2019 An email BarkerVillageFire2019@gmail.com and Barker Village Fire 2019 facebook page has been set up to post current meeting schedules, media updates, outreach and questions pertaining to the Library or Village Hall |
