Lincoln Highway Village-wide Buy-Way Yard Sale
Held Aug. 8-9-10
The famous coast-to-coast Lincoln Highway was started in 1913, the same year as the Farmers and Merchants Picnic.
Part of Ada's celebration in the 100th event is the annual Buy-Way Yard Sale. More than 50 sale sites are in the village and surrounding area. A welcome station will be set up at the Railroad Park. It will have maps available showing locations of all the yard sales.
The Buy-Way project is sponsored by the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce, Ada CIC and Ada F&M Picnic Board.
Watch The Ada Icon for more details on both these events.
