THIS WEEK IN HISTORY
It’s not a Christmas miracle, as far too much work went into making it happen, but the completion of a temporary home for the St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market will make for a much happier holiday season. The new 15,600-square-foot dome-shaped building, dubbed the “Harvest Barn,” is set to open for business on December 12. It will house 49 of the vendors displaced by the fire that destroyed the market’s main building on September 2. From the Dec. 7, 2013 edition of The Observer
