Information on the 2009 Buy-Way Yard Sale!
2009 Annual BuyWay Yard Sales
Lincoln's Bicentennial!
The economy continues to stumble so we held the prices down on registering, with NO price increase from last year! Registering a sale is just $8, which includes a yard sign, GPS coordinates, and mapping!! One does not have to live right on the Lincoln Highway to have a yard sale, or even include a yard! Last year, participants included city-wide sales in Fulton and Ashton, and sales in churches, schools, and businesses!
Registering is easy! Fill out this form and toss it in the mail or come to the
Lincoln Highway Association National Tourism Headquarters in Franklin Grove in person:

P.O. Box 308
