I just came back from a trip to the Midwest with two of my friends. We were 11 days in several states and it was more than I had expected. So when I found out that we were going to Casey Ohio which was featured on CBS Sunday Morning show a few weeks ago, I was looking forward to all of the LARGE pieces. We made sure to see all of the pieces, had pictures taken with the Shoes, saw the wind chime, the ruler, the pencil, the ear of corn, the minion, and other pieces. The people were so friendly and the merchants assured us tourism has boosted the economy. There is a rocking horse which is currently on display elsewhere and will soon be returned to the town.
We took one of three road trips through country where there are quilt blocks displayed on barns, and spent time in Amish country where we visited the Yoder Farm and saw so much more than I have time or thoughts to describe. We toured two Amish homes, the barn, the schoolhouse and rode in a horse drawn buggy like these below.
In Berlin Ohio, we stopped at a grocery where the population is mostly Amish and the shoppers had arrived in the buggies you see above. I think there were 20-30 buggies and the grocery was like nothing I had ever been in. The food was wonderful and before we arrived here, we spent 3 days in Coschocton Ohio, where our friend was getting genealogy information. More about that in the next post.
