World's Longest Garage Sale, Page Two
Don't have time for the whole road trip?
A shorter trip will still give you a chance to enjoy some southern hospitality and find plenty of bargains. The sale begins in a German neighborhood called MainStrasse in Covington, Ky. opposite Cincinnati on the southern side of the Ohio River. This historic neighborhood offers interesting B&Bs, dining options and the yard sale encircles the entire park area in the midst of antique shops. Other interesting communities, like Danville and Jamestown, Kentucky and Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area, Sergeant Alvin C. York Mill & Homeplace and Pickett State Park in Tennessee are also along the way.
Vendors touting antiques and collectibles, handmade crafts and homemade foods are open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. For those interested in selling, setup is free and of course, the shopping is fun.
