Amish rub shoulders with 'English' at Otto Center in Arthur

If Arthur had a convention center, this would be it.

The cavernous Otto Center, about a half-mile south of the touristy town that straddles Moultrie and Douglas counties, hosts everything from benefits to reunions to trade shows. And because the events are so varied, it's commonplace to find Buicks parked next to buggies in the parking lot and throngs of Amish rubbing elbows with the "English" inside.
