Coming from Goshen, IN, the Relief Sale in Rocky Ford, CO, seemed small. But having Tania experience her first auction - and Mennonite eating fest - at the Rocky Mountain Mennonite Relief Sale was fun. The first item up for auction was a homemade loaf of bread - it went for $1,200 - that’s right - one thousand two hundred dollars! And the person who purchased it didn’t even keep it. It was sliced, smothered in apple butter and sold by the slice with a jar of apple butter. I’m not sure exactly how many slices there were - 8-10 probably - but the individual slices went for $20-40 each. Seriously. We also helped with the youth food booth, checked out the quilts and ate ice cream.
