Annual Route 11 yard crawl begins Saturday 8/13 officially

The 17th annual 43 mile long yard sale yard crawl will begin officially Sat. Aug. 13.

Some sporadic setups have been known to start as early as the Friday before along Route 11.

The yard sale yard crawl starts in New Market stretching all the way north to Stephens City.

The annual event has been known to attract people from all over the United States and has grown to include specials from brick and mortar vendors in several of the cities and towns along the route.

More importantly this, for motorist, means extreme caution needs to be taken when traveling Route 11 in that stretch.

The travel will be slow and people can be known to cross Route 11 in many unexpected locations.

Cars have been known to move exceptionally slow and stopping suddenly and indiscriminately along the route.

Caution is advised while traveling on Route 11 Saturday officially or if you are not into yard sales avoiding  the road all together on August 13 if you can.
