What
is a Berry Pepper?
The Berry Pepper is a "frozen concoction" that combines the taste
of strawberry with Dr. Pepper soda to create a delicious summertime snack.
Originally created in 1968 by then swimming pool manager Biff Warren,
the Berry Pepper has since been a favorite snack for visitors to the pool.
Berry Peppers are available at the pool throughout the summer, and at many
downtown businesses during the annual Berry Pepper Days Celebration. |

Creighton's
Annual Celebration, Berry Pepper Days,
are held the 3rd full weekend in June each summer. Visitors to the celebration take part in a road rally, legion baseball tournament, free swimming, ice cream social, a family day in the park rib-fest, grand parade, kiddie parade, road rally, fly-in breakfast, VFW breakfast and the Legion chicken feed. Saturday night join us for our annual street dance on Main Street. On Sunday you can start your day with a community worship service at the legion baseball field. Many new events are added each year.
