PARK PLACE MOTORS!

Right on Highway 127 at I-40

in Crossville.

Traffic will be heavy along the route and drivers are encouraged to give themselves extra time to travel along 127 during the sale.  Traffic gets congested and with people parking along the shoulder even though that is not legal, it can make it very difficult emergency vehicles trying to respond.
