Photos by Merrie Chapman The City of Nappanee welcomed the new Burnworth-Zollars Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership last week through both a ribbon cutting ceremony and patronage to the company's open house Saturday. The new auto dealership is located at 2450 N. Main St., Nappanee. Hours of operation are: Monday - Thursday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and closed Sundays. TOP: All ages found something special in Nappanee last Saturday. From left: Lillian Woods, 11; Benjamin Woods, 6; and Joshua Woods, 9 admire a "General Lee" made and signed by John Schneider.

Lillian Woods shared that her favorite character from the "Dukes of Hazard" is, of course, Daisy Duke. Her brothers shared an interest in the beloved police canine, Flash.
