Mud sales are benefit auctions held to support the many volunteer fire companies in the Lancaster County area. Many of them have heavy Amish & Mennonite participation. So they're not technically "Amish" - but definitely have a Plain character due to the many Amish fire company volunteers, and of course auction attendees.

It's the tail end of the spring mud sales in the Lancaster area. I know the one closest to me is one of the early ones and hundreds of people of all backgrounds comes out. It's in Airville, PA.

The Amish seem like they're a nice people to be around! I'd almost prefer to live around them than mainstream society.
Key word almost.

I couldn't keep up at an auction because I don't hear fast enough 😅 I did notice this one was in English, so they must count on support from the English customers as well.

What is an Amish mud sale? Crafts, Antiques, or food? I'm totally ignorant to this.

What are Amish thoughts on SILVER & GOLD as payment? 💰
(Like Gold backs or even silver dimes)

That's tiny. The ones in Lancaster County, PA are this on steroids! It's usually Mennonite auctioneers.
