Proprietor Joe Serina packs up cannolis and scones for a customer Saturday in Lansford during the grand opening of The Gathering Grounds Coffee House and Serina's Bakery, 36 West Ridge St.  The event, sponsored by the Carbon Chamber and Economic Development Corporation and Lansford Alive, saluted Small Business Saturday and the vital role of local, small-town merchants in supporting the quality of life in our local towns.
