Yankee Estate Sales

We are VERY PLEASED to present this weekend's amazing multifaceted sale.  But PLEASE READ AND HEED these IMPORTANT SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPROACH AND PARKING!!!!  There will be NO PARKING on Old Jail Lane between Route 6A and the driveway to to the house. (Too Narrow on this section of the road).  Parking is available on one side of the street AFTER THE DRIVEWAY with consideration to residential lawns.  The driveway to the house is available ONLY for drop off of mobility impaired customers and for pick up of purchases.  There are TWO houses that share the driveway.  PLEASE REFRAIN FROM USING/BLOCKING THE DRIVEWAY THAT SERVES THE FIRST HOUSE.  Sale involves the second house.  And FYI, Old Jail Lane can also be accessed via Phinney's Lane.   Good Luck..we try to deal with these conundrums with a smile and a kind heart!
