It Is Back

For 35 years, the World Largest Yard Sale has made its way across multiple states along U.S. 127 and it returns again on Thursday. The sale started in 1987 and, this year, spans 690 miles and six states. The official route, according to the website, starts just north of Addison, Michigan, and runs south to Gadsen, Alabama. Officially, the sale starts Thursday and runs through Sunday, though some vendors, at least in this area, are known to start earlier. The route goes right through Williams County, and every year people set up garage sales throughout the county to take advantage of the traffic. In addition to stops directly on the highway, people just off of U.S. 127 are known to have garage sales those days, too.
