This little Hungarian pepper has had quite the interesting life. From a small village in what was then Yugoslavia called Apatin several families migrated to the United States and finally called Beaver Dam Wisconsin their home.

During the festival you will enjoy apple-pepper pancakes, Beaver Dam Pepper brats and beer, along with apple-pepper pie and other yummy Beaver Dam Pepper treats. Beaver Dam Pepper Beer from Potosi Brewing.

Vendors representing local businesses & local artisans, square dancing, kid’s activities from Dinosaur Dimensions and live music from Rural Route 3.

And don’t forget the Chili Cookoff with a $100 first prize, and the longest Beaver Dam Pepper contest with a $50 first prize.
