Are You Ready for the World's Longest Yard Sale?

[ChefLisa]

Hi all!

I am just curious as to whether anyone else is going to the World's Longest Yard Sale this weekend (August 2 - 5)? My friends and I are going. This is the second time for me, but some of them are on their seventh trip.

I plan on looking for a pair of Pampered Chef Onion Goggles. I remember seeing those at Home Office and I just think they are so funny!

Never heard of it.....but I'm planning on having one of my own!

Sounds like a lot of fun. Too far to go for me. Let us know what all you find.

Lisa - is that the one that is like 2 miles long?

There are a couple of those now - there's also one on the Lincoln Highway now, that has people in Ohio and Indiana participating.

Ok. I know there is a church around here that has one that is over a mile long. I didn't know if that was what she was talking about or something different.

The Annual Lincoln Highway Buy Way is scheduled for Aug 9-11 and this year, it's in West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois!http://www.historicbyway.com/buyway.htmlIf I remember right, the Longest Yard Sale is along US 23, isn't it? I remember seeing a thing about it on television but don't remember the details. I suppose it inspired the Lincoln Buy Way idea.

This one is 630 miles long. It starts in Alabama and goes to Ohio. We will be focusing our efforts mainly in Tennessee.

Here is the link for it. http://www.127sale.com/

You can find almost anything at it.

Through Michigan on US 127 and entire towns along the way we have to pay for a permit for a garage sale (they tried taxes on the sale but that didn't work) but no permit required this weekend
