It's called an Amish Mud Sale, meaning it's held in Amish community during
March, which is the mud season (between the freeze and spring planting.)
The sales are fundraisers for the local fire companies, and almost
anything imaginable is auctioned off, with the proceeds going to the fire
co.  In Pennsylvania, outside of large cities every community fire company
is completely self-supporting from volunteer labor and fundraising.  Each
one of these sales covers the budget for that particular fire company's
year ahead.

This is an image that requires some background info.  Inquiring minds want
to know.
