Eleventh ANNUAL
“GREAT U.S. 50 YARD SALE”

“THE NATION’S YARD SALE”

MAY 21-23, 2010

GENERAL INFORMATION

The eleventh annual Great U.S. 50 Yard Sale will be held Friday-Sunday, May 21-23, 2010. The yard sale started in 2000, stretching across most of Indiana. The goal is for it to grow into a Coast-to-Coast event held each year on the weekend before the Memorial Day weekend. The Great U.S. 50 Yard Sale also serves to promote tourism along U.S. 50, to unite the many diverse communities, to provide opportunities for fund raising by civic organizations, to aid the environment through recycling, and to serve as an opportunity for individuals to enjoy a great weekend of sales.

SPREAD THE WORD

The National Coordinator for the U.S. 50 Yard Sale is Tom Taylor of North Vernon, Indiana. totaylor@seidata.com

Don’t have a TomTom? Most other brands of GPS devices can import a CSV file. Look for the button just above the listings on our garage sale map.

It’s Friday morning on the east coast and there are already over 4,700 garage sale listings — I’m quite confident we will pass the 5,000 mark by tomorrow. Check out a glimps of the national map:

The site is set up to view just your local area, because plotting this many sales takes a few minutes and would frustrate most people.
