WCLO's Steve Benton reports on new Town of Beloit ordinance cracking down on never ending yard sales
After getting complaints about yard sales lasting all summer, the Beloit Town Board decides to change an ordinance.
Town residents will be allowed to hold two yard sales per year, and they're limited to selling items on the property that they already own.

The ordinance passed unanimously.
