The Baker Bark

By all accounts, the 20th annual Baker Bargains was a major success, with excellent buyer and seller participation, and not a single tornado or hail storm!

This seller didn’t turn a big profit, but the beautiful weather and neighborhood camaraderie more than made up for it.

Thanks to all who made it happen—particularly Doug Pimple, Baker’s treasurer and tireless promoter. The neighborhood is well on its way to restoring the reputation of this storied event.
