Most merchants who participated in the Trigg County portion of Kentucky’s 400 Mile Sale said they plan to return next year. However, the future of the sale — which, at only two years old, is still in its infancy — is uncertain.

The West Kentucky Corporation, an economic development group, has orchestrated this and last year’s sale — sort of.

The doors of WKC were shut March 31, after the state declined to include it in the annual budget. However, Debby Spencer, a planner with WKC, and a handful of help worked without pay to see this year’s sale through.

“I believe firmly in the itty-bitties … in the Mom-n-Pop shops,” Spencer said. “It’s what Kentucky is all about.”

An event like this can’t just be called off, Spencer said.

“There’s too many neat people … people coming from out of state.”
