Info for Sellers The fun of The Route 20 Yard Sale is that it can include the sale of anything legal. Each seller is in change of his/her own sales site. In many ways, the Route 20 Yard Sale could best be described as regular yard sales, but everybody having them the same day. The following additional information may be helpful. 1. Safety and the Law - All sellers must abide by local laws regarding such sales. All sellers should also consider safety, being particularly careful about providing off-road parking for buyers. No one is allowed to sell, or park on state right-of-way. 2. Individuals Living Along U.S. Route 20 - Persons selling in their own yards are not required to do anything (subject to local law) other than arrange their own sales for the wekend. As a courtesy, however, it would be nice to contact the County Coordinator so that she/he has some sort of idea of where sales will be located. 3. Businesses - As with individuals, businesses do not need permission to participate in this event, but are encouraged to help promote the event by referring to it by name in any related advertisements. They are also encouraged to inform the County Coordinator of their efforts so that she/he will have that information. Local antique shops are particularly encouraged to coordinate with one another and to help to promote this event. 4. Sellers from Out of Town Needing Space - You are first encouraged to check to Connect-to-County list to find participating areas within your region. Please check this regularly as the list will change weekly all the way up to sale week. You should then contact the appropriate County Coordinator to ask for a list of individuals/clubs/businesses offering space for rent. You may then directly contact those offering space. 5. Sellers Living Near U.S. Route 20 - One lesson learned from past years was that many people who lived from a block to a couple miles off U.S. Route 20 wanted to participate in the sale, but did so by erecting signs such as Yard Sale, Three Blocks South. While persons are welcome to do this, experience shows that many buyers, particular out-of-town buyers, focus on making a straight run on U.S. Route 20 and do not go to these side sales. We welcome all sellers - the more sellers to more buyers who will come. This stated, we also believe most sellers will benefit by finding space on U.S.Route 20.
