No, it can’t be! Are there really only eight Fridays left before the holiday season? How many paydays is that for you? That’s right folks. Pretty soon you will be seeing the holiday displays going up in the retail stores and will be lamenting that it is too soon. “It seems we just get through summer and back to school and we are quickly reminded that the holidays are fast approaching,” states Jana Castanon, spokesperson for Apprisen. “But, use this as an incentive to start thinking about how you are going to handle the upcoming expenses associated with this time of year.”

The seventh annual Highway 60 Yard Sale will take place this Friday-Sunday, October 5-7.  The sale will stretch for 200 miles along U.S. Highway 60 through Livingston, Crittenden, Union, Henderson, Daviess, Hancock, Breckinridge, and Meade counties in western Kentucky.

Hundreds of local individuals, businesses, and groups are expected to participate this year, setting up yard sales and craft booths on their properties along the highway.   According to GRADD, the event allows visitors from Kentucky and surrounding states to shop for bargains “while taking in the distinctive flavor of the Ohio Valley’s unique restaurants, shops, and southern hospitality”.

Property owners located along U.S. Highway 60 may participate in the event by either holding a yard sale or sidewalk sale or offering the use of their property to yard sale participants.
