Special

to the Journal

 

Georgia’s

longest yard sale, the Peaches to the Beaches Yard Sale, will take place March

8-9 along US Highway 341. The 200-plus mile yard sale will link peach-growing

counties in middle Georgia to the beaches of Brunswick and the Golden Isles,

with stops in most communities along the way. Official yard sale hours will be

Friday – Saturday, March 8-9, 8 a.m. – 6 p.m., rain or shine.

 

The Peaches to the Beaches Yard Sale

will feature vendors selling everything from antiques and locally crafted items

to traditional yard sale fare. Yard sale sites will range from large

multi-organization sites to individual sites along US Highway 341. A special

“Official Vendor” sign will identify each site. Shoppers are encouraged to

only shop official vendors that display the official vendor sign along Hwy. 341

and at the official group sites. These vendors support this worthwhile event

and make it possible for the Golden Isles Parkway Association to continue

promoting and organizing this growing event each year.

 

In

Perry, the main group vendor sites will be located in downtown around the Old

Courthouse Square and at the East Gate Shopping Center on Main Street. The

local Official Information Booth will located in front of the New Perry Hotel

at 800 Main St. Maps of participating offsite vendors in Perry as well as other

community yard sale locations will be available beginning at 8 a.m. on Friday

Shoppers

who plan to travel to several other communities along Hwy. 341 can also pick up

a “Shop ‘til You Drop” contest entry form at the information booth or

download it at www.peachestothebeaches.com. Shoppers that visit the designated

official information booths in each community along the route can receive a

stamp on their entry form for each stop they make. The more stamps you collect
