FRYEBURG, Maine — All things must pass, as George Harrison sang. Sometimes they also roll into the past, as is the case with Conway’s Sut and Margaret Marshall’s extensive collection of antique wagons and other horse-drawn vehicles.
Come next weekend, like “Antiques Road Show” on steroids, the impressive collection of wheeled conveyances — and lots of other things pertaining to the horses who pulled them — will be up for sale at an absolute auction to be held at the Fryeburg Fair’s Mountain View Pavilion near the fairgrounds entrance on Friday and Saturday, June 13 and 14.
