Yard sale meanders through 400 miles of Kentucky

MAYSVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Four days, 400 miles of scenic roadways. And all the yard sale goodies, antiques and collectibles you can carry.

Tables and tents are setting up again along U.S. 68 from Maysville in northeastern Kentucky to Paducah in western Kentucky and venturing off to the south across the Tennessee state line to Puryear and Paris.

Organizers say the sale goes through 60 communities during its run beginning Thursday and continuing through Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet reminds sellers and motorists to remember traffic safety in congested areas. The cabinet says don’t set up sales in rights-of-way because line of sight will be reduced and crashes will be more likely.

And the cabinet also reminds drivers to pay close attention in areas where multiple sales are taking place.

This is the 11th year for the 400 Mile Sale. For more information, visit http://400mile.com .
