Over the weekend of October 3-5, 2008, seven western Kentucky counties will team up to present the third annual Highway 60 Yard Sale.  The sale will stretch for 175 miles along U.S. Highway 60 through Crittenden, Union, Henderson, Daviess, Hancock, Breckinridge, and Meade counties.  Cities lying along the route include Marion, Sturgis, Morganfield, Waverly, Corydon, Henderson, Owensboro, Lewisport, Hawesville, Cloverport, Hardinsburg, Irvington, Muldraugh, as well as dozens of quaint communities in between.

Hundreds of local individuals, businesses, and groups are expected to participate this year, setting up yard sales and craft booths on their properties along the highway.  This unique event allows visitors from Kentucky and surrounding states to enjoy an exciting shopping experience, while taking in the distinctive flavor of the Ohio Valley’s unique restaurants, shops, and southern hospitality.  The sale will also provide an excellent opportunity for local organizations and clubs to hold fund-raising events.

Also, this year’s Green River Area Development District’s Arts & Crafts Festival will be held concurrently at John James Audubon State Park in Henderson, along the western portion of the route, on Saturday and Sunday, October 4 and 5.  For the past 36 years, this annual event has been delighting visitors with artisan and craftsman booths, artist demonstrations, delicious food, and live music, set against a scenic natural backdrop.
