Beginning at noon, there will be live
music from a variety of bands, and there will be garage sales at the
park with merchandise for everyone to look through. The day of music
is scheduled to wrap up around 8 p.m.
According to Andrea Dykman of Logan
County Outreach, this is the organization's first public endeavor.
Dykman said the group started out as friends on Facebook who would
get the word out through that medium when someone was in need of
some kind of assistance.
This year Dykman, as a
representative of the group, has gotten involved in the Route 66
Garage Sale. She said one thing she supports is people doing things
to help themselves, and even having a garage sale can be a means of
raising cash for the family.
She said she was excited about the
number of garage sales this year. Right now there are over 70 people
and groups who have signed up to be a part of the event.
Those who are signed up will have
their sale listed on a special Route 66 Garage Sale map that is
being sponsored, printed by Lincoln Printers.

The event on Friday will be a kickoff
of sorts, with music being provided through Audiofeed, a
Christian-based organization that provides family-friendly blues,
folk and alternative rock music. Bands on the schedule are Mayhew
the Traitor, Lauren Peacock, Max Simmons, Ami Moss and Huspad.
With this being the first year for
the event, Dykman is hoping that it will turn out well and that the
public will enjoy coming to the park Friday afternoon and evening.
In addition, she said if anyone would like to bring their wares to
Latham Park that day to sell, they may do so without a fee, but they
need to contact her ahead of time. Folks may do that by calling
217-735-0294. |
