For many years there was a partnership with Bureau County Tourism and the Henry County Tourism Bureau to present “More on 34” Miles and Miles of Garage Sales.

Things changed with the organizations and the event changed to just a Bureau County event.

This year the plans are to reinvent “More on 34,” which will be held Father’s Day weekend, June 13 and 14. 

Communities along Route 34 are encouraged to have town-wide garage sales, food stands and other events. This will include LaMoille, Dover, Princeton, Wyanet, Sheffield and Neponset in Buireau County, and Kewanee, Galva, Altoona, Oneida and Wataga in Henry County.

Other special events are being planned for that weekend. For example, the Psycho Silo Saloon at the intersection of Routes 34 and 40 is holding a motorcycle part swap meet those days and the First Lutheran Church in Princeton is holding their Old Wheels car show. 

Buffalo Days will be going on in LaMoille all weekend. Bureau County Fairgrounds in Princeton holds two days of garage sales with inside and outside vendors.

In Henry County, Galva will host live music on Sunday night for their Levitt AMP Music Series. Stop by The Filling Station in Bishop Hill for their Father’s Day specials. In nearby Geneseo, their annual Music Festival will be taking place with music throughout town and vendors in the park.

The street corners will be full of signs directing you to individual sales. A list of locations will be printed showing where sales are located and a list of locations will be posted online. 

Information on how to submit your sale will follow. Watch local tourism websites for updates — www.explorehenrycounty.com and https://bureaucounty-il.gov/tourism.
