I would first like apologize and explain my absence. The past 44 days have not been so kind to me. I have become my Mothers primary caregiver. My mother was taken to the hospital on November 2nd where she was then diagnosed with cancer. She had to undergo extensive colon resection. After biopsy and PET scan it was determined that she had Stage 4C Colon Cancer. She has had many issues in the past 44 days with adjusting to her new ileostomy bags, has dealt with blood clots, intense pain and has began palliative chemotherapy to hopefully prolong and give her more time. While I am not as active on social media as I would like to be at this time, I am still working on bringing new events to our area. I would like to ask everyone to remember our family in your thoughts and prayers as we go through this journey. I appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. I hope that you all have a wonder Christmas and a Blessed New Year! Till January!

I hope you have had an amazing October. We have had a very busy month! There are some exciting updates I want to share with you. Hwy 27 Yard Sale Events will now be operated by Sunshine Events, LLC. We created Sunshine Events, LLC. so that we are able to put on the best events possible throughout the year! We love seeing communities come together to help support residents and local businesses. Our first event will be the Spring Market in April. More details to come on this!! Get your items together now because we are going to reach as many residents and businesses as possible along Hwy 27 for this event! In order for this to grow bigger and drive more traffic to the communities, I am actively seeking out volunteers for state representatives for the following states: Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida. At this time I will still cover Georgia. The representative for each state will be assisting with communicating with the county contacts provided and sharing the information via social media about Hwy 27 Yard Sale Events.
Our vision is to host a HUGE community event during the yard sales for each state as we grow! We are talking FUN! As we continue to grow our goal is too eventually have our own yard sale date separate from the Hwy 127 Yard Sale that is held during the 1st weekend of August. While we love traditions, we are all about supporting the people in our communities and are not trying to take away anything that was started by someone else. It just so happened that along the way people got lost and ended up on Hwy 27 to be rerouted back up to Hwy 127. Of course, we can not control when or where anyone decides to set up, but we can encourage and share the dates sponsored by the Hwy 27 Yard Sale (Sunshine Events) to give local residents and business owners more opportunities to make sales, while bringing the community together for some fun! Till November!

These new adventures will begin of course where it all began, in Walker County, GA. (Shhh, don't tell anyone but a treasure hunt and some BIG community fun at home base is in the works). Who am I kidding? TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!! While I would love to share some more details with you, I really have to get going so many things to do and plan! I can't wait to see you at our next annual yard sale the first weekend in August of 2023! Till October!
