Elsie Rodney and D.J. Clampitt are ready to outfit a playroom for grandchildren after loading up a truck with bargains from the Pompositticut School Yard Sale on Saturday. The public sale of surplus furniture in the school brought in about $1000, according to event organizer Town Clerk Linda Hathaway. The money will go into the town’s General Fund. “The taxpayers originally paid for all of this, so I thought it was only fair that the taxpayers get a fair chance at getting some of it back,” said Hathaway. Scrap metal dealers and charitable groups that ship school furniture to overseas locations are looking at the remaining items, according to Hathaway. Nancy Arsenault photo
