Yoder Days

We had a fantastic time in Yoder, Kansas for their big parade and festival. Its a little Amish town very close to where we live. How fun it was to see all the horse drawn carriages in the parade along with other unique contraptions like the Horse Apple Transformer that followed the horses in the parade. Two guys scooped up the horse poop and put it in the manure spreader and candy came out the back chute. How fun is that? We laughed and laughed (but we didn't eat any of the candy!)A typical Amish buggy.
After the parade we mozied over to the buggy races. Of course we had to stop for a 50 cent snowcone - yum. We sat on the grass and watched as the Amish raced their horses along a dirt road (about a quarter mile track). Wow. It was truly amazing. Who says Kansas isn't fun?
