Every weekend, the Amish would bring their trotters to the stretch of road that connects New Wilmington with Volant... buggy races.
Kind of like what happens when you give your teenage kid the family car for the afternoon.
Friends and I would watch them go from our vantage on a hill side, with binocs, and make side bets. I wonder if they still do it.
I guess racing is where you find it.
Once you find Saratoga, not much can compare.

Small world..My Aunt and Uncle are from New Wilmington. He used to be a professor at Westminster College.
