Good-cause yard saleFor many vendors, the World’s Longest Yard Sale is a chance to increase their personal cash flow, but the motivation is different for a group on Signal Mountain. The American Haitian Foundation will use proceeds from its sale, which runs through Sunday, Aug. 9, to feed and educate 1,500 poor children in Haiti. The mass of merchandise, donated by some 377 families from St. Augustine Catholic Church, is set up under a tent in the parking lot of Price Rite Marking Systems, 2900 Taft Highway (Highway 127).
