Need info on Amish Auction in Ky

Delinda · #1 03/31/07, 05:59 PM

I was told today that the Amish have a hugh auction in Kentucky, the man that told me said he thought it was next weekend in Scottsville? or Smithville? he was not sure. Does anyone know anything about this, or any suggestions on how to get info on it? He said they have lots of animals for sale. I thought I would go if I could find out where it is. Thanks

The auction is in Scottsville. I don't have any other info on it other than it is off of Hwy 100. It will also only be on Saturday, not Sunday.

It's on Perrytown Road, off of Hwy. 100 between Scottsville & Franklin Kentucky. I haven't missed it in several years. If further directions are needed, let me know. Yes, it's Saturday beginning at 9:00.

This is a great auction. They have all kinds of horse drawn equipment, hand made items, alot of chickens, turkeys, rabbits and a few sheep and goats. There also will be alot of vegetable plants for sale, home made chesse, jelly and jams. We have gone the last three years would not miss it. Slim

Slim, what time does it start?

Not Slim, but, it starts at 9:00. It's a great sale, although last year was smaller than in the past. If anyone's considering selling animals, the auctioneer told me they MUST be on site no later than 6:00 sale morning. Hope this has helped!

Grams thank you for the link. I am leaving fri. morning and staying the night to get an early start. This will be my first time attending and I am really looking forward to it. I've already ask DH to put plenty of cages in the truck, I'm hopeing to get some nice alpine kids and I must have more poultry!

I drove my Amish neighbor to an auction- locally-- he sold two cows, and came back with a heifer... his wife did not know about the heifer untill almost a week later!!!

Watch them Amish-- it's hard to tell when they are bidding, sometimes!
