Do you have a closet or storage building full of unused items? Are you looking for a team or club fundraiser, or just need some extra cash? Look no further, as the Third Annual Kentucky’s Boone Way Yard Sale is coming to the scenic US 25 area Oct. 6-7, and both Corbin and Williamsburg are participating.
Residents and vendors should plan now to take advantage of this free event, and possibly use it as a fund-raising opportunity for their local school teams, clubs and church groups. There are multiple spots along the route who are renting or are allowing free set up spots for vendors. Being set up right on US 25 insures maximum exposure.
This event runs 200 miles from just south of Williamsburg in Whitley County, to the subdivisions just north of Richwood in Boone County. Fayette County is not included in the event.
While exploring the route of over 200 miles, you will find thousands of yard sales and garage sales located on US 25 and more in the subdivisions and along the side roads.
Remember to drive carefully and use a passenger as a “spotter’. Also, bring plenty of $1 bills and pocket change.
If you plan on setting up shop, save your pocket change, some newspaper to wrap up glass items and have plenty of plastic bags. Boldly lettered and bright, carefully and safely located signage ensures plenty of visitors.
Start early and plan for windy conditions and possible rain. Don’t forget to advertise your event yourself in the local newspaper, online and on the local radio stations. Set up safely and securely, only on private property or public areas that are approved. Obey all local laws and ordinances.
