Annual Amish Auction

About 10 miles North of Wapanucka, is a small Amish community in the town of Clarita.  I have always been fascinated with the Amish and look forward to the second Saturday of September which is the annual Amish Auction.  An estimated 10,000 people will travel to attend one of the most popular auctions in the state.  The Amish School Auction, Crafts & Antique Show includes a bake sale, farm equipment, livestock, tack, crafts, antiques and collectibles.  Horses, poultry, farm-related items, vendors, and plenty of homemade baked goods of every kind.   



We started the morning early going to all the yard sales.  I scored!  I got cookbooks, books, roaster oven, table & chair (for the barn) several other good finds.

It's hard to describe all the cars and people.  Main street in Wapy is turned into a large (JUNK) sale.  I did find me a cask iron skillet!  (I can't wait to make cornbread in it)!  Kelly found........well, I'll let the picture do the talking.  Keep in mind car after car after bus, and here's Kelly walking with his new toy down Main St, we got a few looks........Only in small town USA.


 I was thinking about buying this tie-dyed chickens, but I will only eat white eggs. J

  1. How fun! Glad you and Kelly found some good stuff. I have never seen a tied dyed chicken! How come you will only eat white eggs!?
