 Beginning at noon, there will be live music from a variety of bands,
and there will be garage sales at the park with merchandise for
everyone to look through. The day of music is scheduled to wrap up
around 8 p.m.According to Andrea Dykman of Logan County Outreach,
this is the organization's first public endeavor. Dykman said the
group started out as friends on Facebook who would get the word out
through that medium when someone was in need of some kind of
assistance.
This year Dykman, as a representative of the group, has gotten
involved in the Route 66 Garage Sale. She said one thing she
supports is people doing things to help themselves, and even having
a garage sale can be a means of raising cash for the family.
She said she was excited about the number of garage sales this
year. Right now there are over 70 people and groups who have signed
up to be a part of the event.
Those who are signed up will have their sale listed on a special
Route 66 Garage Sale map that is being sponsored and printed by Lincoln
Printers.
Maps will be available at Lincoln Printers, IGA, Mission Mart,
5th street Food Mart, Casey's, Hallie's on the Square, order stuffed
Aria and get on on the box, Kroger, Dominoes, Thortons, Little
Caesars , VFW, and Latham park.

The event on Friday will be a kickoff of sorts, with music being
provided through Audiofeed, a Christian-based organization that
provides family-friendly blues, folk and alternative rock music.
Bands on the schedule are Mayhew the Traitor, Lauren Peacock, Max
Simmons, Ami Moss and Huspad.
With this being the first year for the event, Dykman is hoping
that it will turn out well and that the public will enjoy coming to
the park Friday afternoon and evening. In addition, she said if
anyone would like to bring their wares to Latham Park that day to
sell, they may do so without a fee, but they need to contact her
ahead of time. Folks may do that by calling 217-735-0294.
