Glad I got my spin on the double last year... :smash:



DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. — It's closed for renovations, but the stately northern New Hampshire resort where the first-in-the-nation presidential primary ballots have been cast for 50 years is auctioning off bedroom sets, antiques, dining equipment — and a 96-chair ski lift.


A big auction is being held Saturday, May 12, at the Balsams Grand Resort Hotel in Dixville Notch.


The nearly 150-year-old resort was sold last year to two businessmen for $2.3 million who plan to reopen it in 2013. They have commissioned North Country Auctions to liquidate the contents.


Among the items up for auction are 300-plus complete bedroom sets, kitchen and baking equipment — and a biomass plant.


A preview will be on Thursday, May 10 and Friday, May 11. The sale will start at 7:30 a.m. on May 12.

I've been to Balsams several times & never saw the double chair run.

Probably some beautiful bedroom sets up for auction that will most likely sell pretty cheap.

Wish it was a bit closer to me.

It was open when you went? I didn't think they had run the double since the triple went in.
