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. |
