2nd Annual Maxwell Road Endless Yard Sale
Planned for August 13
If you are an avid “Yard Sale Shopper”, you won’t want to miss this spectacular event! With
miles upon miles of yard sale finds, crafts, miscellaneous vendors and food booths on the
winding back country road which connects Kitty Fork in Sampson County and Fayetteville
in Cumberland County, everyone is sure to find something they must purchase! In Sampson County, the road once known by “all the locals” as simply “1006”, starts out as High
House Road, when it crosses Hwy. 242 the name changes to Maxwell Road, and again, when
it crosses Hwy. 24, it becomes Clinton Road.
In talking with Sherri Bostic, “The Maxwell Road Endless Yard Sale” was born last year out
of necessity to help offset family medical bills of Mrs. Bostic. “The Maxwell Road Endless
Yard Sale” is fashioned after other national and regional “endless” yard sales, which draw
shoppers from all over the United States. After the huge success of last year’s yard sale,
Mrs. Bostic said, “We just couldn’t give it up after one year! My family was immensely
blessed last year by the proceeds of the yard sale and hopefully, as with last year, this
year’s yard sale will let others share in the blessing!”
The yard sale will “kick off” at 7:00 A.M. on Saturday, August 13, and will last until all vendors pack up. For more information visit Facebook and search for “Maxwell Road Endless
Yard Sale” or contact Sherri Bostic at 910-990-0415.
School will soon be starting!
Be on the lookout for stopped school busses and children crossing the roads you travel.
Always think safety first!
From Your Kitchen
Ranking ninth in the nation for peach production, North Carolina produces an average
of 35 million pounds of fruit annually for the
fresh market. Presently, most peaches grown
in North Carolina are sold at roadside retail
outlets. Regardless of where you get your
peaches…at your local roadside stand, your
back yard or your grocery store…a succulent,
juicy, ripe peach is hard to pass up as a snack,
in a dessert, in preserves, in ice cream or in a
salsa!
This month’s recipe is a simple Fresh Peach
Cake. Serve with a scoop of ice cream or fresh
whipped cream and you will have a dessert fit
for family or guests! Enjoy!
