Stars and Stripes Museum renting out spaces for 100 Mile Yard Sale

BLOOMFIELD, Mo. (KFVS) - A Heartland museum is renting space for May’s 100 Mile Yard Sale.

The Stars and Stripes Museum and Library in Bloomfield announced on Friday, April 21 that vendors can rent a spot on its land for the annual yard sale.

Officials say the museum has more than 20 acres of space available right off Highway 25.

Pricing depends on how long you want to set up during yard sale, which begins the Thursday before Memorial Day Weekend.

Vendor spots will be 20-feet by 20-feet.

The money raised from the rental space will be used to support the Stars and Stripes Museum.

Some key pieces of land along the route will help preserve the history of local veterans. One organizer, Laura Dumey said that through this event, they’ve raised more than $1200.

”It goes towards the operations of the museum, we are raising money for our big red barn,” Dumey said. “We have two areas where we are trying to raise money for concrete for the north side and the south side, we use our barn during our liberty days event which happens in October, and it’s our living history timeline, so we’re raising money for that.”

On May 27, it’s expected there will be more vendors out then there were the day prior.
