Has anyone heard of the 127 Corridor Sale? It's next weekend and it's the World's Longest Yard Sale, spanning 675 miles from Hudson, Michigan to Gadsden, Alabama! That is one long yard sale.
See? There are some "official" stops and a ton of people who just set up shop in their front yard like a regular yard sale. Apparently people drive in from all over the country to attend this yard sale. And it's pretty nifty that Rt. 127 = Pleasant Avenue (turns into Hamilton Avenue when you go a bit south of campus).
It's also pretty cool that the OWLS are going to participate in the yard sale this year. The OWLS are the Organization for Worldwide Wiser Learners, a student organization on campus that aims to give back to the campus and the community.
The OWLS' items will be for sale in the 3200 block of Pleasant Avenue in Hamilton. They are accepting donations to be sold at the yard sale. The proceeds of their sale will be used for their community outreach program. During this monthly program, the group purchases toiletry and food items then delivers the items to randomly chosen houses. Contact us if you have any items to donate and we can arrange a pickup or give you a delivery location.
The yard sale takes place from Thursday, August 4, 2011 through Sunday, August 7, 2011. The OWLS's sale will be happening from 9 am to 2 pm on Saturday, August 6.
Even if you don't have any items to donate, stop by and shop around the sale! And check out the website for the yard sale also, at www.127sale.com.
