The sixth annual "Buy-Way" Yard Sale will take place Aug. 5-7. This special yard sale will be set all along the Lincoln Highway in Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa.
Last year's event included more than 1,000 yard sale locations in Ohio alone. "People can find virtually anything for sale, and at some pretty fantastic discounts," said Mike Hocker, Ohio Lincoln Highway Historic Buy-Way executive director.
Free travelers' guides have been distributed to businesses along the corridor for shoppers to find their way. These contain maps of the Buy-Way across Ohio. The official Buy-Way website, www.historicbyway.com lists the pick-up locations, as well as many of the yard sales.
An online scavenger hunt is again being offered. The contest prompts participating shoppers to find a list of items, photograph them and e-mail the photo to the webmaster for their entry. The three top drawn entries of completed collections will receive overnight stays, tickets to attractions, gift certificates and free dinners all along the Lincoln Highway. A list of prizes and donors is also available on the website.
"This three-day event has not only introduced people from all over the U.S. and Canada to the history of America's first coast-to-coast paved road, but it provides an economic boost to the hundreds of communities that participate, and it serves the thrifty side of us all who shop," Hocker added.
