TriChapter Rally - Day 4 - Thursday

Thursday Morning I was very ill and did not attend breakfast or the chapter meetings, Thursday was a free day to explore the area, The 4:00 social I did not take any pictures. At 5:00 everyone lined up in their cars and caravaned to an Amih farm just outside of Shipshewana for dinner and a tour,

When we went in for dinner the salads were already set out for us.
After dinner we were invited to tour the farm, visit the house, and take a buggy ride.

Taree Schrubb posted the following on facebook:
This evening 80 of us went to an Amish house for dinner. It was fantastic !!!!!!! We were able to go in the house and view their house. Which , by the way , wasn't white. It and the barn were light beige. The owner hooked up a horse and Shirley & Maurice Rust , Tammy Cockayne, and I went for a ride in the buggy. There were also others that took rides after us.
It was a lovely time !!!!!!!

A large group of folks from our Escapees Tri-Chapter Rally went today to the Lambright Furniture Factory. It is owned and run by an Amish man . He gave us a tour of his small factory. It was very interesting to see how they are made !!!!! I tried very hard to take photos without showing any of their faces.
