Ohio - A Lincoln Highway BUY-WAY Yard Sale Travelers Guide is being distributed along the corridors of Ohio's portion of America's historic first coast-to-coast paved road.
The guide is a free and useful tool for people planning to travel the fourth annual BUY- WAY Yard Sale which will take place Aug. 7, 8 and 9.
Ohio Lincoln Highway Historic Byway Executive Director Mike Hocker said, "These guides can be found along the highway at participating businesses. Just ask at local retails, restaurants, attractions, convenience stores and gas stations along the byway."
"The guide is very helpful since many people are confused about where the "Lincoln" ran...and it did change alignments through the years from 1913 to 1928," Hocker added. "Then the government simply re-named the Lincoln Highway in most areas as US Route 30."
"All alignments are fair game for shoppers, giving those in Ohio alone roughly 350 miles of yard sales, community events and festivals with lots of food, drink, fun for kids-and most importantly-shopping for bargains!" Hocker said.
Last year, there were more than 700 individual and organizational sales just in Ohio. Indiana and Illinois are participating in similar sales. West Virginia's 2.25-mile segment of the highway in Chester is also part of the BUY-WAY this year.
The guide features a map of all Lincoln Highway alignments, and corresponding Lincoln Highway towns in Ohio, and also shows the current US Route 30. The guide also contains listings and ads for more than 50 of the larger group events scheduled during the three day event.
More information and a printable listing of yard sales and locations can be found at www.historicbyway.com. The list is being updated frequently until the yard sale event.

My husband and I both enjoyed this last year. We met a lot of nice people and we are planning to do it again in 2009. Thanks to all who participate in this.
