Our mission is to support our local economy while enriching the quality of life for Nappanee residents and visitors alike. We are grateful to the following sponsors who help us carry out this mission through the events and services we provide.

GEN-Y Hitch

GEN-Y Hitch is the perfect example of the ingenuity and innovation that is so common in the Nappanee community. A decade ago, the company began work on the design of an adjustable tri-ball/pintle combination hitch which would allow a truck to tow multiple types of trailers. The result of this work was the development of the patented GEN-Y Hitch. Since 2011, GEN-Y Hitch has continued to develop their line, which currently encompasses eight Class IV hitches as well as 3 Class V models (plus ramps and other accessories) and makes towing a breeze for individuals and fleets around the world!

"Newmar is proud to continue a half-century tradition of building motor coaches by hand, one at a time, with help from the people of Nappanee, Indiana. . . . Their obsession with quality and passion for innovation is what makes our competition feel like a compromise, which is why we say that when you know the Newmar difference, you know our people." - Matt Miller, President & CEO


Ayr Custom Cabinet

The Ayr story began in 1965, in the heart of the Amish community, in a small intersection called "Ayr" near Nappanee.  Founder David Miller Jr.'s dream was to build truly custom cabinetry to the highest standards possible. From those modest beginnings and with the same vision, Ayr Cabinet Company has established itself as a leader in the custom cabinet marketplace. Although Ayr has seen tremendous growth, they have maintained the "small-town way" of doing business.  Weldon Miller, David Jr's son, is now the owner and CEO, and, like his father, is insistent that Ayr builds nothing but a quality cabinet in the same tradition of integrity and craftsmanship.
