What are Mud Sales?
At the beginning of every year, local communities come together to support their local volunteer fire companies by holding auctions that
have affectionately become know as Mud Sales. The term Mud Sale was coined from the coined of the ground when the auctions are held.
Since the 1960s, Mud Sales have helped build fire houses, purchase equipment, and enable training for fire fighters, EMS units, and First
Responders in rural Lancaster, chester, and York Counties. Area townships, the Amish community, and local businesses support the
sales with donated and consigned items, becoming a bargain hunter's paradise.
For over 40 years, Mud Sales have become spectacular events with various items being auctioned, including but not limited to: building
materials, horses, ponies, mules, tack and feed, antiques, Amish-made furniture, craft items, buggies, carriages, tools, farming
equipment and supplies, tractors and engines, groceries and produce, garden items, shrubbery, plants, sheds and gazebos, sporting
goods, firewood, housewares, and some of the most amazing Amish quilts one could ever find.
Come hungry! Mud Sales begin at 8:30 AM, but breakfast is usually served around 7 AM with warm, fresh doughnuts and/or breakfast
sandwiches and fresh coffee, all provided by the Ladies Auxiliary. If you miss breakfast, no worries, feast on traditional PA Dutch foods
such as: stromboli, barbecue chicken, sausage sandwiches, chicken corn noodle soup, soft pretzels, oyster sandwiches, smoked meats,
cheeses, pies, cakes, cookies, breads, homemade ice cream, and more.
Parking is permitted in designated areas, shuttle buses may be provided for outlet parking. When you arrive at the Mud Sale, go inside the
fire house to register for your number so you can bid. Pay your bill in the designated area when you are ready to leave (Vise and Master
Card accepted). These are multi-cultural family events to support volunteer fire companies who help protect lives, businesses and
properties, please be respectful. Please keep in mind, the Amish are not permitted to have their picture taken unless they have given their
specific permission.
A special thank you is due to the hundreds of volunteers, auctioneers, fire fighters, fire police, and the Amish community who dedicate their
time to make these events happen.
If you are unable to find what you are looking for at any of the Mud Sales, contact our advertisers! Without their support this publication
would not be possible. Thank You, we'll see you there!
