Linda L., who is a de facto shepherd of all things vendor related in Delaware County had this to say in the Crafters and Vendors of Delaware County Facebook group: "Very sad news folks. The fire was the stable barn where we had our market. Thankfully nobody was injured. A beautiful building that forged many new friendships and was such a blessing to our vending community here in DelCo."
The blaze is still under investigation by local authorities.
