Special to The Times-Tribune

The ninth annual East 80 Yard Sale kicks off Thursday and runs through Monday, with yard sales to be found from London to Manchester along Hwy. 80 East.

Anyone who owns property along the route is encouraged to participate by offering yard sale items — anything from preowned clothes, toys, antiques, electronics, furniture, bedding, cars, boats, ATVs and just plain junk — in hopes of making the event the biggest yard sale the area has ever seen.

Don’t live on East KY 80? There are plenty of open spaces to set up tables, just ask any property owner.

Sellers are asked to place yard sale signs where they are visible enough for the cars to have plenty of room to signal and stop.

Those who aren’t selling but who own land might want rent space to vendors. The average price is $8 per table or $20 per day per area. Land owners should post a sign on their property stating “Yard sale site for rent.”

Shoppers are advised to be cautious when driving in the area due to large amounts of stop and go traffic. Anyone traveling along East KY 80 is asked to be patient, drive slowly, make no sudden stops and above all, use turn signals.

Traffic is expected to be heavy. Because of the number of people the sales draw, safety is a big issue.
