They had a little bit of everything. One woman was selling racing memorabilia and T-shirts emblazoned with Nathan Bedford Forrest's photo, another was selling baby clothes while another sold toys and trinkets. In the cool dawn they went about their tasks setting up tables, packing boxes and making sure their wares were displayed properly.

All the sellers who participated in Saturday's yard sale at the Daily Herald, and those who participated in a similar event at the News Daily two weeks ago, had more in common than they thought. Each and every one of them helped to make sure newspapers continue to get into the schools for use in history, math, English and general study classes. They helped to make sure our Newspaper in Education/Literacy program continues to be a success.
