DeKalb Area Women's Center: May 2013

Event Spotlight: Lincoln Highway Buy-Way

August 8-10, 2012
Lincoln Highway Buy-Way

The Lincoln Highway will be celebrating its centennial this year. 100 years of transcontinental automobile travel, all the way from New York City to San Francisco. DeKalb's own Route 38 is part of the this historic roadway. A fantastic interactive map was completed in 2012 by the Lincoln Highway Association. Go check it out!

When you're done scrolling and zooming, go dig around in your attic or garage for stuff to sell at the Lincoln Highway Buy-Way. Surprisingly, it's not the world's longest yard sale... but it may be the world's best yard sale. For $5 you can rent a parking space in our parking lot and join our community yard sale. You can rent a single space or multiple spaces, and the fee gives you the space for all three days of the sale. Concentrating local sellers in one place makes our sale a must-see destination for buyers, so bring your best stuff and lots of sunscreen! Your space rental fee supports the DeKalb Area Women's Center's mission and helps bring educational programs to your community.

To reserve a spot, please give us call at 815.758.1351, email us, or stop by 1021 State Street in DeKalb Fridays from 7-9 pm.

If you prefer to buy rather than sell, make sure you don't miss our sale! It's going to be a great one this year!
