With this nice weather we are having (high of 78 today), Phyllis and I decided to ride up into southern Kentucky and buy some Sorghum Molasses that were just made in this Mennonite community. This place is just off Highway 100 in Allen County Kentucky near the town of Scottsville.
Very interesting place, I will no doubt come back again. After a couple of minutes it became clear that German was the official language....but it was the strangest dialect of German I had ever heard. Once I got back home I looked it up and it is referred to as "low German". Anyway everyone we spoke to were very fluent in English also.
There is a very high probability that we will be having some molasses cookies in the very near future.
Notice the horse and wagon coming up the road behind Phyllis
This is the view from the parking lot of Habegger's Variety Store (out of respect for the folks standing outside we did not point the camera towards the store)
We saw this gentleman riding a mule, but the mule was not too cooperative
As we were leaving we saw this livestock auction being held...evidently a pretty big deal which is held twice a year.
