Also up in the Trenton area there is a large group. When I preached a revival in Trentor for Pastor Melvin Rhoads back in the late 70s I used to drink coffee and have breakfast at a cafe in Trenton and my waitress was a shunned Amish girl. She had left the community for the bright lights of Kansas City and then returned to the area. My oh My the stories she told me.

One of the funniest ones was about how the boys would occasionally get drunk and unhook their beautiful John Deere tractor from the conveyor belt that handled the movement the eggs in their egg farm operation and put the tires back on it and head to town and drive up and down main street on their tractor.

Have fun Berk... I am sure it would be an experience of a lifetime!
