Anyone know anything about the HWY 127 Garage Sale

by Steve P » Sun Jul 26, 2009 9:19 pm

OK...a few years ago I saw this program on (I think) the Travel Channel about the HWY 127 Garage Sale (billed as "The World's Longest Garage Sale"). It runs the weekend of Aug 6-9 and the route begins in Ohio running all the way through KY and TN ending in Gadsden AL. While not a "garage saler" at heart the program made this event looked like a hoot. Does anyone know anything about this sale ? Are there any small town (KY) stops along the route ? It sounds like a great "Sunday Drive".

Annemarie,

Thanks for the link. I went to the website and didn't really find any references to KY (other than the route). The TV program made this look like a 600+ mile long hell bent in pursuit of junk garage sale...So I'm thinking there must be -some- kind of KY representation. Just thought someone on the forum might have had some experience with this event. If not, well I'll report back to ya'll in a couple of weeks. Gotta find me some "stuff" :roll:

Nice ride from I-71 down through Harrodsburg and Danville. Lots of stuff... be careful when you get on and off 127 so you dont get rearended or drive over somebody while checking out a good sale. Lots of places have pull outs with parking lots full of stuff too.
