Submit Your Best Recipes for the Nappanee Sesquicentennial Cookbook and Contest

NAPPANEE, IN – In celebration of Nappanee's 150th anniversary, the library is reviving a beloved tradition from the past. Fifty years ago, during the 1974 Centennial Celebration, Nappanee hosted a Tasting Spree with over 300 delicious recipes.
