The “Hunter’s Widow” Sock Sale at Cabot Hosiery Mills is happening this weekend, though you wouldn’t know it from searching the internet.

I’m not sure if the company just forgot to tell people about it, or if they’re trying to keep it quiet for some reason, but there is very little info about this popular annual event online. There’s not even an announcement on their website. I actually had to pick up the phone (gasp!) and call them to find out when it’s happening.

Here’s the info:

Cabot Sock Sale
Saturday and Sunday, November 15/16
Saturday and Sunday, November 22/23
8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. all days

This is Eva Sollberger’s “Stuck in Vermont” video on last year’s sock sale, in case you missed it. And a link to a very funny and random parody of the video.
