The second Saturday of September each year an auction is held on a farm near Clarita to raise funds for the local Amish School.  Farm equipment, livestock, antiques, and an array of all sorts of items are auctioned.  However, the highlight of the auction is the many colorful hand-made Amish quilts are put on the auction block. As soon as the current year's inventory is sold, the task begins again with quilting’s being held weekly in different community homes.
