The World's Longest Yard Sale takes place on the first weekend of August. It spans from Michigan to Alabama and takes place on State Route 127.
We live less than an hour from 127 and a tradition began about 9 or 10 years ago for my wife's birthday. She is a yard sale and thrift store junkie(she comes by it honestly...LOOKING AT YOU FATHER-IN-LAW) and we celebrate every year by attending.
She truly looks forward to it and begins saving for it at the beginning of every summer.
Below are pictures of some of the more interesting things we saw on our 10 hour yard sale-ing(<---trust me, it's a word in the South) adventure. The kids wanted to go with their grandparents this year, so we had the whole day to ourselves!
I took this picture for 
This is a 1955 Chevrolet Belair. Cars from the 50's and 60's were some of the best years for car styles IMO.
Do you remember when the Corvette Museum had the sinkhole incident? Here is a piece of carpet from the fiasco!
Need a Smoker/Grill in the shape of a Bull? Smoke comes out of its horns when you have this baby fired up!
An interesting piece. The shells definitely add some character!
If you really love Smokey the Bear, you could have had him in your living room!
This vintage hair dryer could really come in handy as my hair is getting longer! If you have long hair and are planning on cutting it...don't forget you can donate it for a good cause. 
There is always beautiful furniture at the yard sales. The piece my wife is standing in front of is at least 8 feet tall!
Need some sweet transportation? A bike with a combustible engine!
The guy that makes this wood art is at the yard sale every year. These are all made with a chainsaw,chisels, and a grinder. He is usually making pieces, but when we were browsing he was having to keep an eye on his stuff, because at least three pieces had been stolen that day and it was only nine o'clock in the morning!
The lady who owned this said it was created "to make people happy".Does it make you happy?
A hand cranked wheelchair! Could you imagine the "guns" one would have after powering theirself around with this baby!?
I knew some of my fellow Steemians would like the premise of this homemade cane, so I had to snap a picture of it!
This is called a crawler bulldozer and it's the biggest one I have ever seen in person. I'm like a big kid when it comes to seeing toys like these and I, of course, had to take a picture with it.
I hope you saw something interesting!
