HAYES CENTER, Neb. -- On a Husker Saturday in November, American Legion Post No. 287 of Hayes Center plans a unique "Junk in the Trunk" event and a Cornhusker tailgate party.

Sellers are encouraged to stuff their "junk in their trunks," their "trash to treasures," their rusty gold, their beans or popcorn, or their garage sale or yard sale gems on trailers or in the back of their pickups and sell between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Legion Hall on the Hayes County fairgrounds.

Spots will cost $10 for outside the hall and $15 for inside the hall.

Carolina Suarez will serve homemade Mexican food.

Call Beverly Unger at (308) 883-7215 to make reservations, or just show up that day.

That evening, starting at 6 p.m., American Legion Post No. 287 plans a tailgate party for the Husker vs, Ohio State game, serving a hamburger plate and a drink for $8 and watching the Huskers on a big-screen TV.

Proceeds will go to the American Legion to help defray winter utility costs.
