I saw this post & it reminded me of what they do in Kentucky......When arrived for the closing of escrow, everyone was talking about the 68 yard sale. I couldn't figure that out....but then they explained that all along highway 68, everyone had a location for part of the yard sale.

Then just before I was leaving for California so work on packing up my home here, they were talking about the 127 yard sale. This is a huge highway that runs from Louisville all the way south through central Kentucky. Houses & businesses that are along that highway set out things for the yard sale.....people rent out locations for others to set up for the yard sale. Even the church that I go to in the neighboring town set up a location at one of the members houses along the highway & sold a lot of things that had been donated for the yardsale. They ended up making around $500 over the 3 day sale for the building fund. The local lumber yard put out all their items like house windows & doors in the parking lot along the highway.....to sell what ever they cold sell. It was the most amazing thing this Californian had ever seen.

Only problem is that is can be dangerous driving along the highway when the person in front of you decided that he saw something back there that he was interested in.....there go the screeching breaks & a pile-up.

It sure is a new way of life.
