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.

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
