L E I P E R S   F O R K, Tenn. Aug. 26, -- A garage sale on a summer weekend usually doesn’t make national news, but the one in Leipers Fork, Tenn., is an exception.

It’s at the estate of country music star Wynonna Judd.

Fans and profiteers gleefully picked through country music star’s discarded things Friday as she prepared to move with a garage sale.

“I’m hoping she and Ashley [Judd, Wynonna’s actress sister]played it,” said Cindy Smith of Franklin, holding a worn box ofthe game Yahztee she planned to purchase for $5. She also plannedto buy some of Wynonna’s hair dye fora friend.

A steady stream of cars trickled in and out of Judd’s estatesouth of Nashville, and pickings were already getting slim afterthe first few hours of the sale. It was scheduled to run throughSunday.

Cleaning Out and Moving On

“She’s sold the house and is building her dream house on 500acres she owns next to where her mother and sister live down theroad,” said Kerry Hansen, Wynonna’s spokeswoman. “Meanwhile,she’ll be living in a smaller house that has no room for most ofthis stuff.

“She knows a lot of neighbors might want some of the stuff.That’s just the way she is.”
