Bargain shoppers are invited to Fort Benning’s Post-wide Yard Sale.
May 7, 2011, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The sale will be conducted across all of the posts housing areas, including Custer Terrace, Bouton Heights, Davis Hill and Lavoie Manor. Buyers are encouraged to park in a high sale-density area and walk the short distances from sale to sale.
There is no set route. Expect lots of traffic. Wear good walking shoes. Bring plenty of change. And remember that post speed limits are very low, 15-25 mph in most places, and using a cell phone while driving is not permitted.
The Postwide Yard Sale is conducted twice a year. Selling is restricted to post residents, but buying is open to all.
How to Access Post: Buyers will be able to access the post via I-185 and Benning Blvd. Access to the installation is still controlled through vehicle checkpoints. Drivers of vehicles without military stickers must stop at the visitors center on I-185 or Benning Blvd. to get a temporary pass.
All vehicles will be stopped and drivers should be prepared to show their vehicle registration and proof of insurance. Adult passengers in the vehicle may also be asked to present identification.
For more information: Call the Public Affairs Office at 706-545-3512 or 706-545-2237. After duty hours and on weekends call 706-545-2218.
