John Kruse of Auburn, Jason Bontrager of Elkhart and former congressman Marlin Stutzman of Middlebury, the owners of Kruse Plaza in Auburn have purchased a major portion of the Amish Acres complex in Nappanee.

According to KPC News, the trio purchased a large portion of the property in an auction Wednesday night where the three paid a combined $1.55 million for the entertainment center at Amish Acres. The purchase includes the Round Barn Theatre, a 400-seat restaurant and rights to an annual festival, as well as parking areas, Kruse said.

Kruse said his group plans on several updates and maintenance to the facility, but overall the property is in good condition.
