Sock Sale Draws Thousands

(Northfield, VT) -- Who would think that a sale of something as simple as socks would draw out thousands over the weekend? And yet, that's what happened in Northfield, Vermont at the Cabot Hosiery Mills Factory for their 31st annual sock sale. The owner says the event can be nearly overwhelming, since people usually take socks for granted, until they come to the sale. Ric Cabot says they hold the sales during two weekends each year, and usually sell 170-thousand pairs of socks over the two weekends.
