May 14-17, 2009: U.S. Highway 11 Antique Alley

Always the weekend (Thursday-Sunday) after Mother's Day in May, this 502-mile festive roadside sale is held each year on U.S. Highway 11 from Meridian, Miss., through Birmingham, Ala., and towns in Dade County, Ga., then Chattanooga, Tenn., to Knoxville, Tenn., and on to Bristol, Va. Antique Alley is celebrated in each county up and down the U.S. 11 corridor. Each town along the route will plan its own events, as festivals, antique sales, flea markets and yard sales, carnivals, etc. Eutaw's participation in this event is usually held on the Courthouse Square. Featured on the square will be tables displaying antiques, arts and crafts, paintings, homemade quilts, baked goods, and delicious food of all sorts! Food, gasoline, and sleeping accommodations are locally available. Please stop by to see us. Eutaw welcomes all visitors. Thanks to all who visited us last year and we hope to see you again. Have a safe and happy "Antique Alley" journey!
