    Me and my mom go to Preston about three or four times every year. My Grandma lives there. Court Days is so amazing. There's a little bit of everything there. It is way better in Preston than in Mt. Sterling. I hope ya'll get the chance to go sometime.(:

    We visited Court Days in Mt Sterling & Preston, But Preston is by far the best.
    Mt Sterling is mostly new stuff that tears up the day after you buy it. I wish we had known about Preston before we spent 2 days at Mt Sterling, the housekeeper at our motel told us about it, otherwise we would not have known.
    If you are more into yard sales & flea markets, you do not want to miss this one, & the food is so much cheaper & better. The people are so friendly & it's a very beautiful place. I got lots of good deals. Love, love, love it.
    I will definitely go to Preston again.

    I visited both Preston and Mt. Sterling Court Days this weekend and was amazed at how much cheaper the food booths were at Preston. We tried to do both in one day and regretted not going to Preston first.
