Originally the factory for Coppes Cabinets that produced the famous “Hoosier Cabinet,” this 100,000 square foot renovated factory now houses a variety of small local shops. Then enjoy an “out of this world” ice cream that is flash frozen right before your eyes at over 320 degrees below zero from Rocket Science.

Dinner Buffet & Half-Stitched, The Musical' at the Blue Gate Restaurant
Begin at the Music Hall for "Half-Stitched, The Musical". What could possibly go wrong when an Amish widow decided to teach a small weekend quilting class? Cultures collide and personalities clash when six loose threads and an Amish widow spend a weekend together learning a little about quilts, and a lot about themselves. This Broadway-caliber musical will have you bent over laughing, fighting back tears, and humming along to the unforgettable melodies. Based on Wanda Brunstetter's novel The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club. After the show, enjoy a delicious Blue Gate Dinner Buffet! 

Visit Shipshewana

Paint an Amish Quilt Barn Art piece inside the Nappanee Center
Sit down with local artist, Linda Pieri and be shown painting secrets developed throughout the ages.   Linda has taught over 1000 people in the art of acrylic painting encouraging them to “not just look at what you are drawing or painting, but to see what is really there.”  You will be able to observe a demonstration and follow step-by-step instructions that will help you create your own masterpiece.  This is not a paint by number situation.  Linda helps each person discover the creative artist inside of each of them.   Everything is provided including:  easel, canvas, acrylic paints, brushes, brush basins, palettes, and paint clothes.  Acrylic paintings are on 5” x7” canvas board postcards.  Everyone leaves with a finished painting that they will be proud of.  Class takes place inside the Nappanee Center which is home to historical Nappanee exhibits.
