Bargain hunters ahead of World’s Longest Yard Sale
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) – The World’s Longest Yard Sale, in its 22nd anniversary year, officially starts
today but some bargain hunters couldn’t wait.
Roadside vendors have been setting up all week to do business through Sunday for more than 650 miles,
along U.S. 127 from Unity, Ohio, through Kentucky and Tennessee and on south to Gadsden, Ala.
In Dunlap, Tenn., Bruce Ogle was driving around in his large pickup truck and two dogs hunting for deals
Tuesday, searching for wood pieces in good condition for his store.
Gaile Boyd of Aiken, S.C. told the Chattanooga Times Free Press it’s a tradition for her.
Boyd said she is a "collector at heart." She and a friend take a week off work to go all the
way up Highway 127 and back down. They drive separately so they have room for all their purchases.
