Mud sales, named for the condition of the thawing ground, are major fundraisers for the volunteer fire companies throughout Amish communities. These sales draw people from near and far to bid on everything from handmade Amish quilts, furniture, toys and crafts, as well as livestock, buggies, antiques and farm equipment. The Amish and English come together for these Uniquely PA events.
