Columbus Day Weekend

Columbus Day is celebrated across America, but for the Argylians, the holiday is less about the discovery of the continent by Columbus and more about the massive garage sale that occurs from Friday to Sunday of that holiday weekend.

The Garage Sale Weekend, as it is more commonly called.

The Garage Sale is legendary, almost everyone is Argylan becomes involved, whether as a buyer, seller or both. Sales go up from one end of town to the other, mostly sales involving one person selling their old stuff to another, but some people are actual vendors of knives, food, t-shirts, or air-soft and paint-ball guns that come from other states to sell their wares. Even cars, motorcycles and ATVs get sold on this weekend, all as part of the tradition.
