BSS&T Day: Great tradition now joined to City-wide Yard Sale Second year back on Square. Labor Day weekend in Columbia holds all the promise of years past, and more. Limited concessiion spots now available. City-wide yard sales will be listed on ColumbiaMagazine.com, free, this year. Mayor Bell says it's great time to walk around, see improvements, too. From Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com staff & Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Commission sources "Buy, Swap, Sell, & Trade Day," (BSS&T Day) will continue to be the centerpiece of Adair County's Labor Day Weekend celebration, but there is now much more planned for the weekend. The event has been bolstered by the "City Wide" Yard Sale which starts on Friday, August 31, continues on Saturday, September 1, skips Sunday, and resumes again on September 3, 2007. Sue Stivers, Executive Director of the Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce and of the Tourism Commission, said she knew the City Wide Yard sale had a good chance of success, but was, nonetheless surprised at the spike in actiivity shown through its implementation. "What was so great about it was that shoppers could go to one spot, park, and visit a half-dozen yard sales," she said, giving the area around Magnolia House Bed & Breakfast from Merchant Street to the Greensburg Street on Jones, as an example. "It was also a great time for a family of shoppers to get out, shop the sales which each family member liked best, and not lose each other." "Buy, Sell, Swap & Trade Day, founded by the late Bill Walker, made famous by Joe A. and the late Allen Moore, will have its most ambitious occurrence this year in all its great history," was stated last year in CM and is true again in 2007. The BSS&T Day will be on the Square, in consideration of the tourist holiday traffic, for this one day event on Labor Day proper, September 3. Many will be set up and open by 7:00pam CT and the event can go to 4:00pm and a little beyond. It was moved back to the Square in 2006, and organizer Charles Grimsley and Joe A. Moore both agree it was a a smart move. Mayor Pat Bell thinks that BSS&T will always is a fun time to get together, and says it is not only a great time for people to shop and socialize, but it's also a great time to take advantage of the nice weather and slower pace to take inventory of changes taking place in Downtown Columbia. "You know, it's hard to know where to start," he said, "but there is change, and change for the better, that a lot of us just let slip by." He cited the work going on in the lower levels of buildings facing the Square. "Dr. Janella Brown has just redone her building on Adams Street. It's a tremendous improvement, but one of the ones we sometimes overlook," he said, adding, "I hope other people will see the changes and let her know how much we appreciate the confidence she's showing by investing her practice in Downtown Columbia." BSS&T Day now a Columbia tradition, one that is recognized around the state, and has grown in popularity since the first one organized, even if very few people can remember the exact order of the words in the name.Outdoor spots are available on a first come, first serve basis for stalls, rides, eateries, and other concessionaires which give a fall carnival atmosphere to the event. Outdoor display spots will be 15 ft. wide and will be $20 a spot. There will be a few spots with juice--electricity, to non-carnies--with both 110V and 220V abailable, for a $10/$20 extra fee. Concession vendors must reserve spots if electricity is needed, according to the events rules.To reserve a concession spot, contact: Charles Grimsley, at (270) 384-5658.
