reminder for Amish dinner attendees.

It is important for all who have tickets for the Amish dinner to read the instructions and rules below. These instructions apply to both dinners, Wednesday, Sept 13 and Thursday, Sept . 14. You will get your ticket when you pay for your meal/meals when you pick up your packet. $25 each , cash only. Exact amount would be appreciated.

We have 2 different color Amish Dinner tickets, BLUE for Wednesday's meal and YELLOW for Thursday's meal. We will not accept tickets that are not color specific for the day that you arrive. If you would like to attend a different night, it is up to the individual to try to find someone willing to swap tickets with you. The best chances of being seated together is to arrive at the farm together, Truck-Pool. We will not allow holding of seats for your friends; all seats are filled in as you arrive. If you arrive at the farm with the incorrect color ticket, we cannot seat you.

We would appreciate that you all try to Truck-Pool (4 people) with a friend or neighbor to the Amish Dinner, so we can reduce the number of parking spaces needed and get everyone parked as quickly as possible. There is limited parking available at the farm which is why we have volunteers assigned to direct you to your parking space. This is a working farm, if you don’t follow the “parkers” instructions you could easily get stuck and cause damage to the farm’s operations!

For handicap parking, notify a volunteer upon arrival at the farm. For those of you who are handicapped the "parkers" will give you directions so you can drop off the individual and the people that are doing the parking will be happy to park your vehicle if the distance between the parking area and house are too far to easily walk. Free Valet Parking.

We ask that everyone arrive at the ECCC building front parking lot by than 3:45 PM and no later than 4:20 PM. There will be volunteers there to greet you and verify that everyone in each truck has the correct color ticket for each day’s dinner. These volunteers will also control the dispatch, releasing a specific number of trucks at 10–15-minute intervals. It is very important that everyone follow the instructions from these volunteers. Please don't go out early. Remember that you will be entering an area with very heavy Amish activity with horse and buggies, and with 20-25 pickup trucks waiting in line on a narrow dirt road to get parked, could easily create a very unsafe condition for all. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and patience.

The Carriage House address is, 5280 S 500 W Topeka, IN 46571. GPS may take you a different way, it is recommended that you follow the Rally Book map (blue line).
The dinner will begin to be served at 5 PM. By following these instructions, you will arrive on time.

While we are at their farm, we are all guests, and we must respect the beliefs of the Amish people. Under No circumstances should Pictures be taken of the Amish people (with camera or phone). Your phone may disappear.
