We swear that when we named our event the 301 Endless Yard Sale we did not know there was an amazing television show dedicated to bringing yard sale loving contestants to some of the nation's biggest and best yard sales. Or that the show was called Endless Yard Sale. But, serendipity is strange like that, and Endless Yard Sale will be coming to, well, our 301 Endless Yard Sale, June 19-20, 2015.
What does that mean for you as a local or a visitor, a vendor or a buyer? It means you just might have a chance to be on TV... the Great American Country channel to be exact. We have packed some great information into this blog, including who to contact if you want to be a contestant and some of the possible items the show is looking to buy on their 301 adventure. If you're going to be at the 301 Endless Yard Sale this year and you are an antique collector then we suggest you bring your "A" game!
We've also included a helpful map of Hwy 301 as it goes through 100 miles of treasure hunting from Roanoke Rapids to Dunn. The map starts at the most northern vendor and ends at the most southern vendor (so far). It also maps each vendor area we currently know about and it will be updated as we know more information.
