More on 34
June 15 & 16, 2018
Always Father’s Day Weekend
More on 34 was an idea conceived in Kewanee and with the help of a small group it has grown into a wonderful weekend event. More on 34 stretches over 100 miles on US Route 34. The event is organized only to the extent that dates and locations are specified. The date is father’s day weekend (Friday and Saturday) every year.
Sellers make their own hours – set hours never work with sales! Most sales usually begin at 8 a.m. and are open until at least 5 p.m. The location is anywhere along US Route 34 between Galesburg and Aurora. You will find an array of items for sale on the More on 34 miles and miles of sales. We encourage you to participate.
Mile after Mile of treasure hunting. Garage sales extend along the Route 34 corridor (Aurora to Galesburg).
