This year marks not only the 20th anniversary of the sale, but also the extension of the sale by 180 miles! The sale will now stretch from the Ohio/Michigan border, all the way down to Gadsden, Alabama! The US 127 Corridor Sale started in 1987. It begins at Covington, KY, and runs South to Chattanooga, TN, then switches to the Lookout Mountain Parkway, continuing to Gadsden, AL. The four day sale now starts on the first Thursday in August making dates for the 20th annual sale to be August 2-5, 2007. The sale is very popular, and visitors from several foreign countries have attended.
The original intent of the sale was to prove the back roads have something to offer, and that the interstate system was not the only mode for travel. County officials put together a list of attractions along the route in Kentucky and Tennessee. There are over three hundred attractions along the route to provide enjoyment for the family. Whether it be majestic hills, beautiful scenery, river boats, railroads, toe tapping music, arts, crafts, horses, fishing, hiking, bits of Civil War or Indian History, there are many opportunities to enjoy the beauty and culture of the land along the 127 Sale Route. Get a firsthand look as HGTV chronicles the best, the worst and the screwiest of this phenomenal secondhand roadtrip. AIR TIME: August 07, 2007 11:00 AM ET/PT. We bought a table, fishing pole, lamp and watermelon. Grand Total - $36
