Southeast Missouri will feature not one, not two, but three major yard sale events this Labor Day weekend.

* Scott City hosts a citywide yard sale Friday and Saturday.

* Wappapello presents its annual 25 Mile Yard Sale, Friday through Sunday.

* Not to be outdone, Highway 61 is the setting for the 61 Mile Yard Sale, running Thursday evening (now) through Saturday. This event starts at Fruitland and continues north through Old Appleton, Perryville, St. Mary and Ste. Genevieve, before ending at Bloomsdale. If you do go yard sale-ing on 61, be sure to check out my previous posts about Schnurbusch Karst Window and other scenic diversions along the old highway.
