The Downtown Business Association is creating this "Hometown Holiday Favorites" Cookbook as a fundraiser. The DBA is a nonprofit organization that pays for the 40 American Flags that fly downtown May through November, sponsors Scarecrow Fest, sponsors Delavan Daze,sponsors the Delavan Fresh Market, provides free carriage rides during the Holiday Season, provides other free downtown activities, and is currently putting a Downtown Kiosk in to advertise local activities. We need your help to make this cookbook project successful!
Once we have the recipes organized and the cookbook designed, we will allow people to reserve cookbooks. If you prepay for your cookbook, you'll save money!
