The Rummage Sale Needed Traffic Control: BOOK NINE (The Golden Years Gone Wrong 9)
About
THE RUMMAGE SALE NEEDED TRAFFIC CONTROL
Half the town came shopping. The other half came arguing.
The annual Brindle Creek Community-Wide Rummage Sale was supposed to be simple. People would clean out their garages. Neighbors would buy each other’s junk. The Community Hall would raise a little money. Everyone would go home happy.
That plan lasted approximately seven minutes.
Before sunrise, shoppers are already fighting over parking spaces. By breakfast, traffic has spread across lawns, fields, driveways, and anything remotely resembling open ground. By lunch, furniture is blocking roadways, homemade traffic signs are sending drivers in opposite directions, and somebody has somehow sold an actual stop sign at a rummage sale.
Sheriff Colton Smith is doing his best to prevent the entire town from becoming a transportation disaster, but that becomes increasingly difficult when residents begin creating their own traffic-control systems.
Charlotte Bell responds by making more maps. Nobody follows them. Mavis Tolliver responds by directing traffic with a kitchen broom. Tourists assume she’s an official government employee.
Kevin Dorsey discovers several mystery items nobody can identify and accidentally creates bidding wars around objects that may or may not have originally belonged to farm equipment.
Then Donna the Goat finds the merchandise. Things deteriorate rapidly after that.
As rumors spread faster than facts, social media influencers arrive to film the chaos, volunteers begin supervising other volunteers, barriers start disappearing, and spectators decide they are qualified to help manage the event themselves.
By afternoon, Brindle Creek no longer has a rummage sale. It has a county-wide traffic emergency disguised as a fundraiser. And somehow, everyone still believes they are helping.
