Lincoln Buy-Way Yard Sale Update
A Lincoln Highway BUY-WAY Yard Sale Travelers Guide is being
distributed along the corridors of Ohio's portion of America's historic
first coast-to-coast paved road.
The guide is a free and useful tool for people planning to travel the
fourth annual BUY-WAY Yard Sale which will take place August 7-9.
Ohio Lincoln Highway Historic Byway Executive Director Mike Hocker
said, "These guides can be found along the highway at participating
businesses. Just ask at local retails, restaurants, attractions,
convenience stores and gas stations along the byway."
"The guide is very helpful since many people are confused about where
the "Lincoln" ran...and it did change alignments through the years from
1913 to 1928," Hocker added. "Then the government simply re-named the
Lincoln Highway in most areas as US Route 30."
"All alignments are fair game for shoppers, giving those in Ohio alone
roughly 350 miles of yard sales, community events and festivals with
lots of food, drink, fun for kids--and most importantly--shopping for
bargains!" Hocker said.
Last year, there were more than 700 individual and organizational sales
just in Ohio. Indiana and Illinois are participating in similar sales.
West Virginia's 2.25-mile segment of the highway in Chester is also
part of the BUY-WAY this year.
The guide features a map of all Lincoln Highway alignments, and
corresponding Lincoln Highway towns in Ohio , and also shows the
current US Route 30. The guide also contains listings and ads for more
than 50 of the larger group events scheduled during the three day
event.
More information and a printable listing of yard sales and locations
can be found at www.historicbyway.com. The list is being updated
frequently until the yard sale event.
