WORLD'S LARGEST YARD SALE

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (Wireless Flash) -- Tennessee's Highway 127 is about to become home to the "World's Longest Yard Sale." Starting Thursday (Aug. 17) residents from Knoxville and towns in three other states will set up booths along a 450- mile stretch of the highway for the 12th annual "Longest Yard Sale." The event originally began as a way to bring revenue and traffic to the old highway, which runs through Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and Georgia. Rummage sale organizer Lloyd Wagnon says the huge junk sale is now world-renowned and draws in vacationers from as far away as France and Germany.
