TGFYS HIGHWAY 19 SALE EXTRAVAGANZA
The Great Florida Yard Sale was an idea in the making for many years, with the name, website and idea first being tested in 2010 with a small event. After much area research and feedback the idea went live!
Many communities and states across the US have events just like this, some on a statewide scale, some are smaller community events. One thing they all have in common is the large crowds these events draw, attracting visitors that have never been to the areas. The Great Florida Yard Sale is a great opportunity for our community to attract thousands of visitors.
The original vision for The Great Florida Yard Sale was to fill West Citrus County & Highway 19 (not in the right of way :)), TGFYS sales are on Official Sale Sites, some sales started from the Intersection of 19 & 98 (south of Homosassa) as far as north of Crystal River, with many sales NOW moved OFF HWY. 19 as the community gets involved, it's a yard sale extravaganza!! SEE UPDATE BELOW. This is a great opportunity for local businesses, citizens, non-profits and the community at large to get involved and a with great potential to raise funds for their own charity. This type event fills motels, restaurants and campgrounds with visitors that normally may not come to our area.
TGFYS is BACK as Semi-Annual Event in the Spring & Fall, with the November Fall event being close to Veterans Day, 2nd weekend of the month every year and the Spring event in April, also 2nd weekend of the month yearly. We may change when needed or add new ideas to benefit TGFYS success!:)
As the event has evolved, so has the size/location of the sale. Always keeping Citrus County as the main hub, but open to adding other communities. For now we are keeping the plan & the vision local.....time will tell if we expand!
FALL 2022 UPDATE !!!!!! ALL Official Vendors are @ HOWARD'S FLEA MARKET in SOUTH SIDE Parking Area!! As Hwy 19 continues construction & not many available LARGE multi areas for Sale Sites, TGFYS will continue with ALL Sellers in 1 GREAT LOCATION!! We have the SAME # of official vendors/sellers!! Everyone is just together in ONE area:) :)
( TGFYS will keep you posted if our location changes for 2023)
