The 4th Annual Bargains Galore on 64 will take place August 7-9, 2003, Thursday through Saturday, and features 130 miles of antiques sales, yard sales, sidewalk sales and flea markets. Organizers hope people will shop ‘til they drop along Hwy. 64 (which parallels Interstate 40) from Fort Smith to Conway, Arkansas.

Designated a “Travel Treasure” by Southern Traveler magazine, the event draws family vacationers and dealers, buyers and sellers alike, who “treasure” not only the great bargains along the route, but also the friendly atmosphere and beautiful vistas that prevail.

The event has grown tremendously over the past three years and will be even bigger and better this year, thanks in large part to the wonderful support of the various chambers of commerce and other tourist promotion agencies throughout the River Valley area.

Setups can be located anywhere along the route, with the permission of local merchants or property owners. No permits are needed for this event; however food vendors must comply with Arkansas health regulations. Put out yellow sale signs to advertise your participation in Bargains Galore on 64 and be prepared to be busy for three full days.

For more information, contact your local tourist promotion agency or Linda Hiles at 479-667-4455 or 1-888-568-3552.
