The neighborhood prefers to have it at one central location as opposed to individual homes. While it is a pain to have to pack up your ‘goods’ and haul them somewhere else, it is much easier for the shoppers to be able to go to one location as opposed to winding their way through 3000 acres of the neighborhood.
They have tried other locations including the DJ Montague parking lot, the Westbury park soccer fields, the Swim and Tennis Club parking lot and of course the Historic Triangle Community Center parking lot. I think it boils down to the fact that parking is going to be an issue no matter what as there doesn’t appear to be a good venue to avoid it. Having the sale outside of the neighborhood helps congestion in the neighborhood for those Ford’s Colony residents that don’t wish to participate.
Besides, doesn’t it make it more exciting when there are throngs of folks just waiting to get into to find a deal??

Traffic was horrendous last year at the sale. Why not have it somewhere else ?
