• 318) Historical Society Tag Sale

  318)   Historical Society Tag Sale - June 2, 2007                  The Historical Society tag sale was held on June 2 at the Town Garage on Route 44.  What a great location!  We set up our tables, put out the items and with just one small sign at the road side, the curious and the bargain seekers are drawn in.  This modest tag sale is now our main fundraising event because the large flea market sales we held in the past grew too large for our small organization to handle.  The tag sale on June 2 was very successful.  We had been collecting items for months.  Thanks to all who donated items, brought plants and food to sell and helped set things up.
