October 17-18 we went to the Mountain States Relief Sale in Rocky Ford, CO. Liane and Kate had never been to a Relief Sale or auction before and Tim hadn't been to one in a while. Eric and I are kind of spoiled by the Michiana Relief Sale in Goshen because it's so big.
We camped out on Friday night. For some reason the tent poles for the guys' tent did not make the trip with us so while the Kate, Liane & I slept in a tent, Tim & Eric roughed it in the van.
The first item to be auctioned is a loaf of bread. The bread was bought for $1,850. It's then sliced and each slice is sold with a jar of apple butter. The slices sold for a combined amount of $2,400. Between the loaf itself and the slices earned $4,250. Crazy.
We didn't really do a lot during the day. We had volunteered to help clean up after the sale so much of the day was waiting and eating - which is a mandatory activity at a Mennonite gathering. Kate, Liane, Eric & Tim did get a ride in the barrels.
