There is a huge yard sale in August on, I think, highway 27 starting in
Kentucky and going south for more than 400 miles. I don't think I'd have
the stamina to do that one very far. We, locally have one here in Ontario
on 3, Talbot Trail, that we went to last year. It's about 80 miles from
where it starts to the finish. We did most of it because the stops were
fairly far apart. We ended up with a late lunch in a lakeside town. Son
and Fiance and her oldest went with us that time. We don't buy that much,
but it's fun. We got most of our small appliances for our campers from sales
like that. And, spending time with our family in shared interests is
good..... .....Sharon
