It’s been awhile since we’ve posted here, so we hope you’re following us over on Instagram under the same name! Night to Shine is always one of our Queen’s favorite events outside of the festival. ♥️ Come volunteer and see why for yourself! Added bonus: it’s in Elkhart this year!

💙 Guest Registration is CLOSED 💙
We are beyond excited to be at capacity for Night to Shine — but this is also the part that always makes our hearts a little heavy when we have to say no to late guest registrations. Every “no” reminds us how deeply this night matters.

✨ Right now, our greatest need is BUDDIES. ✨
Buddy registration is OPEN until January 17th, and we urgently need more buddies to ensure every guest is fully loved, celebrated, and cared for on this special night.

Being a buddy is more than volunteering — it’s showing up for someone who deserves a night full of joy, dignity, and belonging. One night can make a lifelong impact. 💫

🙏 Help us by sharing this post so it reaches someone who may be the perfect buddy for one of our guests.

📝 Please consider signing up today:

Quick take over! Before her reign comes to an end tonight, we at the Apple Festival, have to thank Amber for the INCREDIBLE job she has done as Queen this year. If you know Amber, she gives what she loves her all. Amber went to the festival state pageant and received 2nd runner up and overall evening gown winner, she traveled to various different parades and events in different counties, representing the festival and Nappanee in new places. While doing these things, Amber was also finishing her undergrad, working a full time job (60+ hours!) over the summer, and recently started vet school! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Amber for being the Queen that you are and representing the festival so beautifully ♥️ We can’t wait to see all that you accomplish in the future!
