  The longest garage sale in Iowa is a trail of fun and quintessential Midwest-America sites.
  • Homemade pie.
  • Every socio-economic group buying AND selling!
  • Farm antiquities.
  • Clothes – old and new.
  • Almost cheap and very expensive prices.
  • Clean garages and road-side stands.
  • 4-H food stand
  • Towns you never new existed – Dawson, Bouton, Jamaica, Bayard, Bagley and more.
  • Pickled green beans, cucumbers and salsa.
  • Bars and resturants and town halls welcoming visitors from across the country.
  • Deals and steals and high-priced rip-offs.
It was a great daytrip, fun adventure and yes, we’ll do it again next year!

  7147853You’ve heard of the worlds longest garage sale that starts in Michigan and stretches across several states and ends in Alabama? You might not know that Iowa has it’s own “longest garage sale”. It’s stretches across towns along HWY 141 and starts Friday Aug 7 and ends Sat Aug 8. If you dream about scavenging good deals, this is the Queen Mother. You can visit towns in Iowa you never knew existed – Dawson, Ute, Jamaica. And some you’ve driven through before, Perry, Grimes, Granger, Bayard and Bagley. You can eat home-made pie and beef burgers along the way!  Would love to see what treasures you find. And we’ll post pics of our favorite finds.
