How to do the right thing with old things is a question that is often quite difficult to solve. Someone keeps them as a memory, someone ruthlessly gets rid of them, believing that they carry negative energy in themselves. Italians generally throw out everything unnecessary from the windows on New Year's Eve, but Americans are thrifty people! They prefer to sell used goods, and they arrange an annual sale for this - 127 Yard Sale, which is recognized as the largest in the world, because it extends to 690 miles from Alabama to Michigan!
For the first time 127 Yard Sale was held in 1987, since then, year after year, thousands of sellers from different parts of America come here for the first weekend in August. The fair lasts 4 days and offers everything your heart desires on the shelves, from antiques and ethnic handicrafts to new and used household items, clothing, jewelry and knickknacks.
Such an event turns out to be beneficial not only for merchants, but also for owners of hotels, restaurants and gas stations, as it brings a huge income! The only inconvenience is that huge traffic jams are inevitable on the roads, since a large number of people come here on all kinds of transport. Some travel by car, others by truck, others in a motorhome, and some even arrive by plane.
In addition to the opportunity to make a good purchase, tourists are attracted by the many attractions that can be seen along the way. There are many beautiful parks, historical monuments, cultural centers where you can listen to national music, as well as excellent nature - beautiful rivers and majestic waterfalls!
