Mud & Music: New Sales Season Brings A Uniquely Lancaster Combination
Lancaster, PA (PRWEB) February 22, 2016 -- It’s that time of year when Lancaster’s one-of-a-kind “mud sales” take place in local Amish communities. But why not enjoy some cool new musical entertainment on the same weekend?
Visitors can’t get more authentic ‘round Lancaster County than the annual Amish “mud sales” season, which begins February 27 and runs, primarily, through mid-April (a few in May, June, & August) on Saturdays in small towns all over the county (typically 8am-2pm).
Named for the condition of the thawing ground in late winter / early spring, these community auctions benefit local fire companies and provide a wonderful opportunity to mingle with Amish neighbors as they help to run the sales, or enjoy a fun day full of great deals and PA Dutch eats themselves.
Attendees can buy everything there, including the kitchen sink, and all of it sold at up to six simultaneous auctions at various locations ‘round the grounds and firehouse, which makes for a truly captivating experience (BRIEF VIDEO).
