Friday the annual Route 66 Garage Sale got off to a really good start with mild, sunny weather and a lot of traffic arriving at Postville Park shortly after the 8 a.m. start time.

Good weather stayed through most of the day, but it seems that even when the date is changed, this busy weekend is always plagued with just a little rain. And this year more than a little rain came. From Friday evening through Saturday, the rain just wouldn't let up, making Saturday a day to forget for vendors and garage sale patrons alike.

Still a few parking spaces, but that will change soon.
