Guest Speaker: Larry Scheckel presents the Amish in Wisconsin

Larry Scheckel, an educator from Tomah, Wisconsin, presents this interesting and educational discussion of the Amish way of life. Hear about their unique way of life: courting, marriage, baptisms, weddings, funerals, schools, dress, German language, the Ordnung (set of rules for life), farm life, Amish manufacturing, auctions sales, horse and buggy transportation, community life, Church services, medical care, shunning, music, Amish newspapers, Rumspringa, and more. The Amish thrive, yet they avoid electricity, cars, modern appliances, and tractors in the field. This presentation goes behind the scenes to view the rich Amish culture. Larry has received the Tomah Teacher of the Year Award three times and has been a Presidential Awardee at the state level 6 times. He has also received several awards, including the Kohl Award and the Tandy Award.
