Just an Update

Flyers have been printed to be distributed throughout town and in neighboring counties as well as in Ohio.

Our spot along this coast to coast event will be advertised throughout the state.

Relay for Life's annual event at the City Park is being held the same days so make a weekend of it and partake of both events!

Several yard sellers, vendors and charitites have already reserved spaces to set up around the Mountaineer Family Restaurant which is also just off I-77 as well as along US 50.

Please contact me here if you wish to set up simply to have your space reserved. You pay when you arrive. Cost in the Mountaineer parking lot is $6 per day and the size is one parking space. When it fills up we can spread out to neighboring parking lots.

This is free enterprise and you can do as you wish in your space:
Promote your business.
Have a yard sale.
Host a fundraiser.
Perform if you are an entertainer.
Etc.

***Local laws apply. Check with the county clerk for any permits you may need.***

If you do not wish to set up where we are you can seek out permission to set up anywhere along US 50 on your own. I understand some have set up in past years at Tebay's Flea Market near Lubeck. And others have set up towards Mountwood Park where an antique mall used to be.

There are coordinators in Cairo and in Clarksburg that you can reach through the main website:

These hundreds of miles long sales are so much fun! I can share one story of one year that I set up at the World's Longest Yard Sale that runs north/south on Rt 127 through TN and other states. I had for sale a small chalkboard shaped like a chicken. I sold it for a quarter. Later I noticed it up for sale again across the road at another seller's table for .50 and then saw it a few more tables down for .75 and then it travelled across the road again to another seller's table and so on until it had a $5.00 price tag on it. So NOW you know HOW THE CHICKEN CROSSES THE ROAD.

It's really so much fun!!! I hope everyone who sees this comes to sell or to buy or both!
