Water Valley\u2019s 2nd Annual Citywide Yard Sale Day<\/strong> is set for Saturday October 7<\/strong>. There are 26 houses, 2 church sales, 2 flea markets, and 5 businesses on the map of locations. The event is scheduled to run from 7 am to 1 pm, but several participants are extending their hours, and some are even setting up as early as Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event originated last year when a Water Valley resident asked if anyone else would be interested in holding a yard sale on the same day as her. \u201cNobody from Oxford, Grenada, Batesville, etc… would drive to Water Valley for a single yard sale, but they’ll come for multiple<\/em> yard sales. It went really well last year\u2014[especially] from what I was told by other participants,\u201d said Renee Fulwood Cain<\/strong>, founder of the Citywide Yard Sale Day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was buzz in early August about holding another city wide yard sale, but none of the administrators from last year were able to do it again. That\u2019s when Katelynn Dillard<\/strong>, owner of Mulberry Lane Resale Shoppe<\/strong>, decided to pick up the torch. \u201cI started organizing this event much how last year\u2019s event got started\u2014I gauged interest on one of our city\u2019s Facebook pages and went from there\u201d says Dillard. When September arrived, and she still hadn\u2019t heard any dates being announced yet, she contacted last year\u2019s organizers and asked if she could take on the event. \u201cEveryone I talked to was really nice, and excited that someone wanted to keep last year\u2019s momentum going\u201d says Dillard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year\u2019s event drew crowds from all over North Mississippi, which really helped boost foot traffic to the participants yard sales. This year, several local businesses are getting in on the action by hosting outdoor sales as well as indoor specials. These businesses include Mulberry Lane Resale Shoppe, BackTrack Antiques & Gifts<\/strong>, GG\u2019s Flowers and Gifts<\/strong>, Violet Valley Bookstore<\/strong>, and The BTC Grocery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be pop-up flea markets in both the Courthouse Commons parking lot, and at Melonvine Marketplace<\/strong>; these events will coincide with Melonvine Marketplace\u2019s monthly Makers Market, which has over two dozen vendors signed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this many participating locations, you should be able to find just about anything you\u2019re looking for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mulberry Lane Resale Shoppe, a family owned and operated business in downtown Water Valley, will continue coordinating this event for years to come, with the intent of making it a bigger draw year after year. \u201cWe sell a broad range of gently used items at our shop. Most of our selection is vintage, but we have some antiques, and contemporary items as well\u201d says Dillard.
