With over 450 yard sale locations last year in Iowa alone, you will want to mark your calendars — even apply for vacation — for August 9, 10, and 11th 2012 That’s the weekend for the eight Annual BUY-WAY Yard Sale along the Lincoln Highway in Iowa and other states. This is Iowa’s third year.

The dates are now established to be the “second Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in August.”

“We struggled with establishing this formula for our dates, due to all the early August activities, but are convinced this will please the most shoppers and communities.” “To make the event more successful, people or groups interested in participating on an individual basis or as group effort for fundraising should contact Deb Rothmeyer as soon as possible. This way information can be distributed as planning continues, and listings of sales can be made available for shoppers to plan their stops.”

A Guide will be distributed to businesses along the corridor for pick-up by shoppers in late July.

“This event has not only introduced hundreds of thousands 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.
