160 Miles of Garage Sales Bargains Galore on 64 in Arkansas Aug 11-13, 2011

     Bargains Galore on 64 is a yearly garage sale event in Arkansas.  One hundred and sixty miles of garage sales along Hwy 64 and several small towns in between will also be having city wide type yard sales.  This years dates are August 11 thru the 13th, 2011.  Participating cities in Arkansas along Hwy 64 are Alma, Altus, Atkins, Beebe, Conway, Fort Smith, Morrilton, Ozark, Russellville, Van Buren, Vilonia.
     We went to this a couple of years ago, it really bottlenecks in several places and becomes quite dangerous with people walking and rubbernecking everywhere.  We found many professional vendors and antique dealers and lots of traffic on Hwy 64 but not very many bargains.

     We had much more luck finding bargains when we got off the hwy and followed the yard sale signs which are all over the place during that weekend - just about every corner.
