The Yard Sale/Swap meet was held at the Country Corner's Shopping Center (7 minutes from downtown Athens) in The Plains on November 3rd from 11am to 5pm. This was an opportunity to sell, swap, trade, or just show off anything musical. Instruments, amplifiers, sound systems, CD's, records, tapes, or ANYTHING that's music-related. It was an opportunity to visit with other local musicians, look for a new band member (or a new band), show off your latest CD, and maybe even join in an acoustic jam session during the event. Each individual (who registered for a table) was assigned an area to display their sale items. For those without transportation, the Union Street bus will bring you right to the store.
