Do the Amish shop at Dollar Stores?

Check it out! These ones do! On our journey to Arthur, Illinois a few weeks back, I couldn't resist asking Steve to pull over so I could snap these photos...
In the 3rd photo, you can see an Amish man, walking up to the store. I thought it would be too rude to snap photos of passing-by Amish, so he's about all you get. A nice man in one of the shops in Arthur, invited Jaci to ride one of their custom-made rocking horses. It costs like a couple hundred dollars! Qualifier: Amish or Mennonite? Both communities exist in Arthur, and in my ignorance I don't know whose buggies I photographed (and who the man is). So, if they're not Amish, they're Mennonites. Maybe someone else reading this could more confidently say...
