While it doesn’t encompass the distance and number of cities as the 400-mile yard sale along U.S. 68, the Highway 41 yard sale is gaining traction and will celebrate its 10th anniversary this weekend.
Dozens of yard sale vendors will stretch from Indiana to Tennessee Friday and Saturday hoping to get rid of items and make a good deal in return.
Tricia Noel is the executive director of the Hopkins County Tourist and Convention Commission. She said the idea for the Highway 41 yard sale began in the Henderson area over a decade ago.
