Amish plan April 18 haystack supper in Emblem

Several Amish families in the Emblem area are planning a haystack supper on Friday, April 19 to raise money for the construction of a new school.
David Yutzy, who moved to the area last July from Ohio, said the event will double as an opportunity to share one of their traditional meals with the community.
In the Amish community, haystack suppers are very common. They are often served buffet-style, which allows each person to customize their plate according to their preferences.
“Stack it how you like it,” reads the promotional flyer, which lists as ingredients Ritz crackers, hamburger, mashed potatoes, lettuce, cauliflower, eggs, cheese, melted cheese, Doritos and more — with homemade ice cream for dessert.
The all-you-can-eat supper will run from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Emblem School. There is no entry fee if you dine in; donations will be accepted, however.  A $15 fee will apply for carry-out service.
