Warm temperatures and sunny skies met bargain hunters Friday along the 100-mile route of the Highway 141 Garage Sale. The 15th annual marketplace continues Saturday.
The two-day sale stretches from Sloan in Woodbury County to Grimes in Polk County, with many residents of the 20 communities along the route eager to unload their wares.
Saturday shoppers can expect cloudy skies during the morning hours followed by scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon, with high temperatures of about 86 degrees and winds from the south at 10 to 20 mph. There is a 40 percent chance of rain.
Willis Avenue in Perry, the old route of Iowa Highway 141, was a forest of homemade signs Friday, pointing shoppers to bargains. Bargain hunters are parking and walking along many side streets, and motorists are urged to use caution during the sale.
