DUNLAP, Tenn. – Doshie Crowder peers down at a table filled with glassware and kitchen items, searching for crystal knife rests made in England that she uses on special occasions to keep her tablecloths clean.
She and her husband got out and spent a day poking around for treasures from vendors set up early for the 25th annual World’s Longest Yard Sale, which officially runs Thursday through Sunday.
“We go between here and Crossville, [Tenn.],” Crowder said. “By that time, we’re tired. It’s long and hot.”
Kenneth McGuire likes to set up his homemade rustic furniture in a cluster with other vendors. Although his family is from Spencer, Tenn., he takes them all around the country to various shows. But they always mark the World’s Longest Yard Sale on their calendar.
