A lot of people in the Garnett Community and Anderson County have commented that the loss of the weekly General Merchandise Sale at the Anderson County Sale Company every Tuesday would be a detriment to business traffic in Garnett on Tuesdays, so local auctioneer Ben Yoder, stepped up last week to continue that weekly auction tradition at a different location in Garnett. Yoder says there were a lot of people that thought it might have a negative affect on the town because it brought a lot of people to Garnett and to other stores and into the restaurants.
Yoder kicked off his sale Tuesday morning at 9:00 at the LLC Salvage location. Yoder says the sales will sell produce first, miscellaneous, lumber, ATV’s, vehicles, trailers, hay, wood, furniture, tools and more. The weekly General Merchandise Sale at Anderson County Sale Company was a staple of the Tuesday calendar for decades, but ended earlier this month when owner Ron Ratliff announced the sale of the property at Park Road and Maple Street to Leiszler Oil of Manhattan, owner of Garnett’s Short Stop Convenience Store.
