Highway 60 yard sales to be held Oct. 5-7

KENTUCKY – During the weekend of Oct. 5-7, eight western Kentucky counties will team up to present the seventh annual Highway 60 Yard Sale.
The sale will stretch for 200 miles along U.S. Highway 60 through Livingston, Crittenden, Union, Henderson, Daviess, Hancock, Breckinridge and Meade counties.
Cities along the route include Smithland, Salem, Marion, Sturgis, Morganfield, Waverly, Corydon, Henderson, Owensboro, Lewisport, Hawesville, Cloverport, Hardinsburg, Irvington and Muldraugh, as well as dozens of communities in between.
Hundreds of local individuals, businesses and groups are expected to participate this year, setting up yard sales and craft booths on their properties along the highway.
This event allows visitors from Kentucky and surrounding states to enjoy an exciting shopping experience, while taking in the distinctive flavor of the Ohio Valley’s unique restaurants, shops, and southern hospitality organizers say. The sale will also provide an opportunity for local organizations and clubs to hold fundraising events.
Also, this year’s Green River Area Development District Arts & Crafts Festival will be held concurrently at John James Audubon State Park in Henderson, along the central portion of the route, Oct. 6 and 7.
For the past 40 years, this annual event has provided visitors with artisan and craftsman booths, artist demonstrations, delicious food and live music, set against a scenic natural backdrop.
