Countrywood Neighborhood Sale

Countrywood Neighborhood Sale

Every year, yard sale bargain hunters flock to Cordova, Tennessee for the annual Countrywood Neighborhood Sale sponsored by the Countrywood Neighborhood Association.

On Friday, September 22, the huge yard event will draw crowds from all over the Greater Memphis area and from neighboring states.

Last year the sale was a huge success.  More than 200 residents participated

Rain or shine, the participating vendors will sell their almost brand new or slightly used items from furniture to clothing and televisions to motorized vehicles to make a buck.  Not to mention the local economy benefited as people booked hotel rooms for a few days to stay and visit the grand city of Memphis to shop it’s local stores and dine in local restaurants.

Business proudly advertises, 'We saved Pipe Kitty'

You may remember the miraculous rescue of the kitty stuck in a drain pipe.

Piper, also known as the "pipe kitty", was trapped in an underground drain pipe on Summer and Waring back in June.

She was rescued after a 15 hour ordeal, hungry and tired, but okay. She was adopted by the man who rescued her. He works for Greenway Home Services and they are now advertising their part in Piper's rescue.

Each one of their trucks now has a sticker on the back widown proclaiming, "We rescued Pipe Kitty." If you see the trucks around town, give them a friendly wave and tell them thanks!
