Great Idea

Carrie mentioned the "World's Largest Garage sale". I decided to do a search on it.

Here's some facts I found on it:

The World's Longest Yard Sale is a 4-day event. The dates will be determined each year by the First Thursday of the month of August. The event will officially take place that Thursday to the following Sunday for 4 days of yard sale heaven! It begins at Covington, KY, and runs South to Chattanooga, TN, then switches to the Lookout Mountain Parkway (new), continuing to Gadsden, AL.
The four day sale of Bargain Hunting Spans 4 States and covers 450 miles.
Items for sale includes antiques, clothes, crafts, furniture, tools, toys, and just about anything else you can imagine. Some vendors will sell food and refreshments along the way.


This year it's being held august 3 -6.

By the way........ I'm on vacation that week. So....... What do you think? ;)

I KNOW there's no way we'll be able to see it all, but we could see a big portion of it. LOL.

Hum........ Maybe bribe my dad into letting me take the full size van, or better yet....... Rent a small UHAUL trailer. LOL.

That really sounds like fun.

That sounds like a lot of fun! There's also an annual yard sale along U.S. 40 from Richmond to Terre Haute, but I don't think that one is as established and I don't know when it is.
