I like this entry because it sheds light on a popular misconception that has been going on for centuarys. I just believe that it deserves some clearing up.

LOL!
I wouldn't say much more than three centuries!
A promising start for an entry that's near to my heart. But so much more needs to be said!
The dialect - 'Throw the horse over the fence some hay.'
The cuisine - pig's stomach and funnel cakes
The Amish - driving horse-drawn carts down busy roadways
The Mennonite - driving cars with black bumpers for the same reasons the Amish drive horse-drawn carts
This is a great topic for a Guide entry - even without ever mentioning the tourist trap that is Lancaster County's Pennsylvania Dutch Country.
Please consider putting some more meat on this skeleton.
If you'd like, I might be able to lend a hand. I've lived in both Lebanon and Lancaster counties.

I would be honored for you to lend a hand. I also shall add the suggestions you have already given.

So perhaps this entry should be moved to the writing workshop for further tweaking?

I suggest it gets moved either to the Writing Workshop or to the Sin Bin. The presentation title thingy is in the wrong format but that's probably me being pedantic .
