Amy Stark, with the Merry Marketplace for Missions presented by the First United Methodist Church of Commerce, says the annual event is going online this year because of the threat of the coronavirus. Bidding on items -- many homemade -- will take place Wednesday through 3 p-m. Saturday (Dec. 3-5). The event raises money for local mission projects of the church.
Amy also represents the Commerce Public Library and says the renovation of the library building, including the installation of cypress spindles around the top of the more than 100-year-old building, is nearly complete.
