I saw this over the weekend on HGTV (the homeowner’s channel). I got a kick out of it. It’s called “The 450 Mile Yard Sale.”
Straight from their site…take a look:
The World’s Longest Yard Sale, although its official name is The 127 Corridor Sale.
The route runs 450 miles along Highway 127 from Covington, KY all the way to Gadsden, AL, with a little side trip on Highway 28 dipping into Georgia.
“The Sale is headquartered in Jamestown, Tennessee at the Fentress County Chamber of Commerce. Hundreds of thousands of folks join us each year for this fun filled event, spanning 450 miles and four states. It’s impossible to keep track of how many shoppers and vendors we have, but its grown to be the biggest and best event of its kind in the world. You’ll find homeowners selling stuff they’ve accumulated throughout the years as well as professional dealers and vendors. Its almost impossible for shoppers to cover the entire route in four days, so be prepared to pick up where you leave off next year! You’re going to discover some neat places, interesting people, and quaint stops that you’ll probably want to visit again and again. So pack your camera, sunglasses, a good pair of walking shoes, and plenty cash - you’re in for the World’s Longest Yardsale!
Nestled in the beautiful Upper Cumberland Region of Tennessee, the Fentress County is also home to Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area, Sgt. Alvin C. York State Historical Site, and Pickett State Park. We’re also known to the equestrian community as the Trail Riding Capitol of the Southeast!“
