Strong Wind lifts auction tent

One might say the bidding was brisk enough at a Thursday outdoor auction to raise the roof. In reality, it was strong wind that lifted a large shade tent and flipped it atop a shed, coming to rest against a nearby utility pole at an estate sale along Marian Avenue in Barnesville early afternoon. Nobody was injured and the auction crew quickly climbed the shed roof and dismantled the tent, after which the auction resumed. DONALD R. SERFASS/SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS
