The Ridge Scenic Highway Corridor Management Entity (CME) is ex-cited to announce its 18th annual 39-Mile Yard Sale on Saturday, November 1, 2025, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This popular event encourages residents and visitors to explore the 39-mile historic stretch of SR 17 while searching for unique treasures.This year, the CME is introducing new opportunities for local businesses and organizations to participate. We are actively seeking new sponsors to be featured on our official event map and website. For a limited time, new official sponsored locations can join for a special introductory rate of $50. We are also offering sponsorship opportunities to other businesses along the highway for just $25.
The event features six official sponsored locations: the Lake Hamilton Town Hall, the Methodist Church in Dundee, the Lake of the Hills Community Clubhouse, the Lake Wales Woman's Club, Lake Wales Lutheran Church, and the Frostproof Chamber of Commerce. Those interested in being a vendor at one of these sites should contact the specific location directly.
In addition to the official sites, numerous unofficial yard sales will be set up by residents and organizations along the highway, creating an almost continuous trail of sales for bargain hunters.
The Ridge Scenic Highway Corridor Management Entity is a group dedicated to the preservation and beautification of the historic Scenic Highway. Its members, which include repre-sentatives from local communities and businesses, work to maintain this scenic corridor for all to enjoy. The annual yard sale is a key event that supports this mission by encouraging the public to engage with the highway.
The CME is always looking for new members from the communities along the Scenic High-way to join the committee and provide input for future events.
