JAMESTOWN, Tenn. (AP) -It's the 23rd anniversary year of the
World's Longest Yard Sale.
For the next four days, collectors and bargain hunters from
Alabama to Michigan can again rummage roadside stands along U.S.
127. For many, treasure hunting in the off-the-beaten path
marketplace has become an annual summertime tradition. And nobody
with money to spend has to go hungry.
The longer-than-ever, 675-mile route stretches from Gadsden
Ala., across the Lookout Mountain Parkway and Cumberland Plateau in
Tennessee, into the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky and through Ohio
to southeastern Michigan.
Headquarters for the sale that continues through Sunday is the
Fentress County Chamber of Commerce in Jamestown, Tenn.
