Noble Horizons tag sale was filled with finds.

SALISBURY — The Noble Horizons tag sale on Friday and Saturday, May 17 and 18, offered shoppers a wide range of items, not to mention rows and rows of books.

Nina Mathus, manning the cash box up front, said that while she welcomed a non-rainy day on Friday, she thought the clement weather might be providing stiff competition for the tag sale.

This did not deter a reporter, who spotted a sturdy web belt of the sort he uses for fishing purposes. It was tagged at $3, which he rounded up to $10 in the spirit of the occasion.

But recalling the disused weed whacker he already has, he maintained iron discipline and didn’t even touch the specimen on display next to a set of fireplace tools and several indeterminate lengths of board which definitely might come in handy some day.
