Ski deals galore

LAKEVILLE — The annual Salisbury Winter Sports Association ski swap was hopping at about 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, at the Lakeville Hose Company firehouse in Lakeville.

The parking lots were full — except those needed to be kept clear in case the fire trucks had to move out. Cars were parked along Brook Street and shoppers milled about toting new boots, skis and other equipment.

Ken Barker, working the sales table inside, said the flow had been steady since opening up at 8 a.m.

Much of the merchandise came from a vendor in Vermont and was delivered Friday morning. Some items were donated to SWSA, and the remainder consigned by individuals.

Jumpfest, the marquee event for SWSA, runs from Friday, Jan. 31 through Sunday, Feb. 2. Visit jumpfest.org for details.
