Saturday, July 11
We followed this interesting cycle for several miles…
…then to our surprise, they turned into Mt. Hope Auction.
This is a sampling of Saturday at the Ohio Truck Rally. If you want to see many more pictures, go to my Facebook album – https://www.facebook.com/doris.j.high/media_set?set=a.10153010420197322.1073741849.612697321&type=3¬if_t=like
I asked for permission to photograph it. I think they were there for the horse auction.
There were lots of Amish on the grounds – some for the TFC event and others for the horse auction.
Many truckers left after the parade the previous night, but there were still a nice number of trucks on the grounds.
Big stacks on a little tractor
Grilling hamburgers and hot dogs.
Door prizes
Children’s activities
Going a little too fast!
A special item for the benefit auction
Eating and listening to the auction
The auction was still in full swing when we said our goodbyes and began our six-hour drive home.

We were pleased that the Ohio TFC staff changed the Truck Rally date – from the third Friday and Saturday in June to the second Friday and Saturday in July. It hasn’t suited us to go to this Rally for many years. We were blessed and delighted to be there.
It’s fascinating to know that the Amish, who use horse-powered transportation would attend the truck rally. Is that primarily because of auctions of things like food and quilts?
I was surprised about that too, because the Amish don’t attend our Lebanon Truck Rally – but then that event is not in a large Amish community. I think they are fascinated by trucks.
