Yard sales can be so much fun. We can usually score some pretty cool items as we journey from yard to yard in our neighborhood. If you think a typical yard sale is fun, wait until you hear about (and visit) the 100-mile yard sale in Pennsylvania. That’s a whole lot of room to cover in just two days, but if you plan just right you can catch most, if not all, of it.
Mark your calendar, and start planning your personal shopping route for the 24th Annual Quehanna Industrial Development Corporation’s 100-Mile Yard Sale.
If you decide to follow the entire route, which snakes through Clearfield, Elk, and Cameron Counties, you’ll journey through such charming small towns as Driftwood and Benezette, perfect for stopping for a quick bite to eat or an overnight.
Expect somewhat of a crowd during your journey along the 100-mile route; the yard sale attracts upwards of 2,000 shoppers and an estimated 300 vendors each year. That's a whole lot of shopping to do.
If you’re a potential vendor, you have until May 1 to sign up for and to pay the $10 registration fee. Email qidckarthaus2017@gmail.com to request an application.
Are you planning to attend the 100-mile yard sale in Pennsylvania? Have you done so in the past? Share your experience in the comments! If you’re a fan of yard sales, you probably also like flea markets and farmers markets, which means a trip to Green Dragon Farmers Market in Ephrata is an absolute must.
