Welcome to the 38th annual
Nappanee Apple Festival
Welcome to the 38th Annual Nappanee Apple Festival! Our committee members have spent countless hours planning this year’s festival and we hope
you enjoy all that we have planned throughout this
event.
We would like to thank the many sponsors who provide the needed financial support that allows us to
bring so many attractions to the festival each year.
Additionally, a huge thank you to all of our volunteers, the City of Nappanee, the Nappanee Chamber of Commerce and the local residents.
Relax, have fun & enjoy the festival!

2013 Apple Festival
Grand Marshals
Dean & Sally Guard
Retirement isn’t in Dean & Sally Guard’s vocabulary even
though Dean has put in 58 years of retail sales in the same
block of South Main Street, Nappanee. He is currently
in his 21st year as owner/operator of Antiques on the
Square. Since Sally retired from DePuy (Warsaw, IN) in
2000 they have been steady partners with an ongoing
commitment and dedication to a city they say “has been so good to them”.
Sally (Stutzman) is a “home grown girl” and Dean moved to town from Bremen
when he was a freshman in High School; he was being “scouted” to play
basketball for Nappanee High School! The move proved a good one.
His retail career began with a 37 year tenure with G&N Grocery and over those
years “townspeople were so supportive that I just wanted to give back”, said
Dean. He did by serving two terms on the city council in the 70’s and 80’s. He
also served under the mayoral terms of Jim Newcomer, Jim Mellinger and Bob
Callander as a member of the Economic Development Commission when bonds
were approved for Amish Acres, L. J. Wagner and Family Fare (now Martin’s).
During his council years “I never accepted a penny,” said Dean. “I gave it all
back to the city departments. He bought the first bullet proof vest for the
Nappanee Police Department and outfitted the 21 member fire department.
Upon attending a funeral for one of the firemen he decided he didn’t like seeing
the men wear red jumpsuits for such events. So he approached Bob Coppes,
Coppes Men’s Wear, and “cut a deal” on navy blazers, gray slacks, shirts and
ties. Dean went on to serve as a toastmaster for many years for the firemen’s
Christmas parties, awards banquets, etc. It was a mutual admiration.
Squeezed into the past 58 years Dean has also sold real estate and worked
for Hahn Auctions.
“He loves Nappanee,” said Sally. “When someone wants to know something
about its history, they come to Dean. He has so much knowledge about the
town.”
When most people in their “golden years” are taking retirement, Sally and
Dean find the store and a “personalized” downtown Nappanee a perfect fit.
Add to that their antique dealer extended family. “We have become so close
that we laugh, cry and pray together and enjoy Christmas parties and summer
picnics,” said Sally.
Do they even vacation? Yes, a day or two here and there and they do close
the store in January and February for a sabbatical. Then some time is spent
visiting two daughters in Atlanta, GA. The Guards have been married 23
years (of which Dean describes as being the most blessed man in the area);
their blended family includes six children, 12 grandchildren, and 12 greatgrandchildren. Out of the 12 “grands and greats”, nine are actively teaching
school!
While describing the city Dean remarked “it’s just like what was written a few
years ago about being one of the top 100 places to see in your lifetime. We
are so blessed with the townspeople. Look at the help during the tornado a few
years ago. Tourists comment that our people smile, talk, take time for each
other. We have so many repeat customers coming from a great distance 2-3
times a year. They like our town.”
“It’s a quaint city”, added Sally. “It has been so good to us,” noted Dean.
The Guard’s are members of the Methodist Church where both have served as
trustees; Dean was head of finance, and Sally currently as Secretary of the
Thrift Shop.
