People gather for an auction of farm equipment during 56th annual mud sale to benefit the local fire department in Gordonville, Pa., Saturday, March 9, 2024. Mud sales are a relatively new tradition in the heart of Pennsylvania's Amish country, going back about 60 years and held in early spring as the ground begins to thaw but it's too early for much farm work.
