Carrie Gingerich grew up in Yoder. Each year, she would attend Yoder Heritage Day with her family. Now a mother and living in Partridge, she is excited to introduce 2-year-old Kendall to the celebration of her hometown’s heritage. “There’s a lot of fun stuff to do here,” Gingerich said. “I like the small town feel of it.” Gingerich also wanted to introduce her husband, who grew up in Illinois, to her city’s special event, which brought in more than10,000 people on Saturday. Because the family of three is Amish and must maintain certain customs, they could only drive their horse and buggy or their big red tractor to Yoder. “We choose the tractor,” Gingerich said. “I said this is the morning there will be a row of tractors driving down the highway.”
