BLYTHEWOOD/FAIRFIELD – Whether you’re buying or selling, it’s time to clear your calendar for the return of the annual 50-mile Big Grab community yard sale.
Vendors will line the streets in Blythewood, Ridgeway, and Winnsboro and along 50 miles of roadsides this weekend, Friday, Sept. 5 from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 6 from 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.
The shopping crawl is a figure 8 loop that extends up Hwy 21 from Blythewood to Ridgeway, then along Highway 34 to Winnsboro where vendors will be set up along the Highway 321 Bypass, Highway 200 and through downtown Winnsboro back to the Bypass and back to Blythewood via Hwy 321 to Cedar Creek and then to Blythewood Road and down Hwy 21 to Fairlawn UMC.
Vendors will trickle into the area early, setting up Thursday evening so they will be ready for the first light of dawn on Friday.
The event will bring shoppers to restaurants, service stations and stores as they shop for furniture, rugs, clothing, household items and more.
The sale is a boon to local churches, who have capitalized on The Big Grab as a major annual fundraiser – not only selling their own wares, but also renting out prime selling space to vendors.
