As mentioned last week, reader Ed has a batch of photos from the latest Bart Township Fire Company Mud Sale.

This first one might surprise you. Ed gives a little background:

This was one of the stands set up at the sale; they were selling answering machines, cordless and cell phones. I was approached by an older Amishman (probably around my age) who with a twinkle in his eye asked me if I knew that “AT&T” stood for “Amish Telephone & Telegraph”!

And the rest of the photos:

This is the second mud sale of the season, followed by the Gordonville sale which is apparently the largest (see full mud sale calendar here).

One further note. Ed has previously shared photos of the Amish-run camel milk operation in Lancaster County. He shares:

We haven’t seen the camels this trip (nor did we see them in January); we assume they may be kept in the barn in winter. While the desert gets quite cold at night, what full time cold might do to the animals likely isn’t good.

If you haven’t already, you can see photos of this unusual Amish business here. Thanks Ed!
