Roadtrip!

I have wanted to go to this FOREVER.  So, guess what?  I am GOING!!!!!!!  Me and The Bean are heading out Thursday morning and looking to FILL THE CAR.  Whoop!  Whoop!!

Bargains Galore on 64

  THE 16th ANNUAL BARGAINS GALORE on 64 will take place on August 13-15, 2015, Thursday through Saturday. If you haven't been out looking at all the antiques, collectibles and just great buys, you have missed 160 miles of yard sales. "Shop until you drop" along Highway 64 (which parallels Interstate 40) from Fort Smith past Conway to Beebe, Arkansas

     The River Valley of Arkansas is proud to host another of our Bargains Galore on 64 yard sale extravaganzas. This annual event is held on Thursday through Saturday, the second weekend in August and offers a great opportunity for commercial vendors, non-profit groups, clubs, schools, churches, civic organizations, etc., to promote their products or service. There are no limitations on what vendors may market, though we particularly encourage antiques and collectibles.

     Designated a "Travel Treasure" by Southern Traveler magazine, the event draws family vacationers and dealers, buyers and sellers alike, who "treasure" not only great bargains along Hwy 64 but also the friendly atmosphere and the beautiful vistas that prevail.

     We have grown tremendously each year, thanks to the great support of the various chambers of commerce and other tourist promotion agencies throughout the River Valley area.


I AM SO EXCITED!  Happy Birthday TO ME!!!!!!

Stay tuned for the big rundown post.  Maybe it will be AMAZING.  Maybe it will SUCK.  But it is an adventure and I am stoked.  Let's DO THIS!

    1. Me too! Not sure if I will see a ton to buy or be sad because it is too much. Either way, I am going to have an adventure!

    1. Oh, your IG posts are part of the reason I finally decided to go to this sale. I am curious about prices and quantity vs. quality. I guess I will see when I get there.

  5. FNGERS CROSSED for you!! Through years of going to our local 50mi Garage Sale, I have found that I can 'endure' longer by focusing on little towns along the Route- park ONCE and walk to Several! BUT often going off on little side roads you can find 'better-cheaper" STUFF!! Can't wait to hear your reports!!! GOOD LUCK!!

  6. Dang, I go back to work Wed. I could have hauled my happy ass up there and gone on the adventure with you. Early retirement is sounding better and better, then I will be freeeeee to come play.

  7. Have fun! Wish I was in Arkansas to make that trip. Be prepared for stretches of road without any sales, but keep an eagle eye out. Some folks setup near their house, which sometimes is not right near the road. Look for lots of sellers grouped together--less walking that way. Don't forget to eat, rest, and go to the bathroom. Also, decide in advance how you are going to handle sales on the opposite side of the road.

  8. Can't wait to see what you find! I like EM's bathroom thought. You must have a plan!!! You'd be surprised how many people won't let you use the bathrooms in their house :)
