Hundreds of used buggies — horses not included — were lined up and ready for the auctioneer's gavel last weekend when day began at the Gordonville mud sale, a local Amish tradition dating to the 1960s.

The country auctions benefit volunteer fire departments across what the Amish community refers to as the Lancaster settlement, a region some 70 miles (113 kilometers) west of Philadelphia where the devout Christian group began to settle about 300 years ago.

They don't sell mud, although a cold rain brought plenty of it. The name refers to early spring, when wet fields may not be frozen but are not ready for the plow, either.
