LEHIGHTON, CARBON COUNTY - A business destroyed by fire more than two years ago is set to rise from the ashes. The Country Junction General Store in in Lehighton is getting set to rebuild.

Owners will hold a ground breaking celebration Friday at 11 a. m.

The store owner said he could never rebuild without community support so he's inviting everyone to join him. Anyone can bring a shovel and participate in the ground breaking ceremony.

The store burned to the ground in October 2006. Investigators believe an electrical problem caused the fire.
