Not sure what part of SE Nebraska you're in, but I live just north of Milford. The area immediately south and west of Milford is predominately Mennonite, so I've grown up with them.
Like someone else said, regardless of the venue, the kids are always totally under control and perfectly behaved. The local Mennonites are fairly well assimilated into the general population, with a few exceptions. The ladies always wear a small, lacy head covering, and wear no makeup or jewelry. Ladies also always wear dresses or skirts, no jeans or slacks of any kind. (I once had a Mennonite lady work for me who had no qualms about climbing a ladder, or doing whatever was necessary, wearing a skirt).
They have a very strong family structure. Every year, I have my deer processed by a meat business owned and operated by a Mennonite family. And it IS a family operation. When you walk in the place during non-school hours, everyone in the family from age 10 on up has a job and is doing it. They're the one place locally where you can be guaranteed of getting your own deer meat back, not just "X" number of pounds of somebody elses.
I was once Buildings and Grounds Supervisor for the Milford Public School district, and when there was mischief, you could bet the farm it would not be done by Mennonite kids.
Didn't mean to run on, but we also have a farm house we rent out. Would I rent to a Mennonite? I should be so lucky.
