If you were traveling through Downtown Florence Saturday then you probably noticed heavier foot traffic and part of South Dargan Street blocked off.
That’s because vendors from across the Pee Dee set up their tents and tables for the “Great American Country” channel’s “Endless Yard Sale.
“It’s a fun show. It’s kind of a cross between a picking show and a race because there’s a time element too,” said Host of Endless Yard Sale Paul Brown
Jane Rhoden is a vendor from Florence and says she thought it would be a lot of fun and had some antiques that she sort of wanted to get rid of.
Ron Lyerly traveled from Johnsonville and says in laughter that the event was something to do with the kids.
Crews are filming a South Carolina version of the show that starts in Florence and ends in Summerville.
“The teams will have $1,000 a piece and they’ll start picking up some stuff between here and there. We’ll then access the value and declare a champion,” said Brown.
They’ll be selecting from a group of people with different backgrounds.
Brown says they’ve got a husband and wife team. He says they also have cousins and two old friends so they get a little bit of everybody. He adds that the contestants can only spend fifty dollars to buy the best fifty dollar piece. He says the winning team will then get a thirty-minute head start.
There are 3 groups of contestants who are owners of their own antique stores and their searching through different vendors to find an item of highest value.
One vendor from Johnsonville has been collecting and selling his entire life and will have the chance to sell one team of contestants two pieces of history he’s owned for quite some time.
“They got a great deal. I sold them a train and caboose from the 1930’s for like forty bucks,” says Lyerly.
He says he’s sure one of the items he sold will help one team walk away a winner.
“Oh yea I think it’ll help them. I think they’ll win the contest on their part,” adds Lyerly.
But what’s a reality tv show without a little twist.
“I’ll be texting them a specific kind of item that they have to buy and sometimes they’ve already spent their money. It twists them up. They gotta sell something. It’s a fun show, it really is,” said Brown.
The South Carolina series is expected to air on Great American Country in mid-July and run throughout the rest of the summer.
