When we moved to Maine in August 2023, we heard about "Maine's Ultimate Yard Sale" but didn't know where it was, plus we were just moving in, so going anywhere wasn't feasible. But this year, we were able to experience it, and it was overwhelming. That's what you'll see in today's blog.
(Picture: Tom and Rob- Yes, it was a WINDY, hot day!)
It took us about 1 hour to drive to the event, which is located in Cumberland, Maine- near Falmouth, and just north of Portland. There were tents and tables as far as the eye could see. People were selling clothing, toys, books, furniture, games, video games, and so much more.
WHAT WE FOUND - We bought a like-new big snow shovel for $15, and two brand new dog blankets for $4 each. I also managed to find one comic book (most of them were Marvel Comics, and I'm a DC Comics guy). Even though it was $10 each to enter the event it was fun to walk around and look at everything people were selling.
A HOT SEPTEMBER DAY - It reached 80F on Sept. 7th, so it got a bit hot outside. It was also windy - as you could see in our picture - by our hair blowing back. At least it wasn't raining. :)
FUN NOTE: The woman I bought the shovel from asked me if I was expecting a snowy winter. I told her I'm a meteorologist, and that I have an inside track that we'll get more snow than last winter (which was an all-time low for southern Maine- so there's a 90% chance I'm right). :)
