Tulip Time in Pella Celebrates Dutch Heritage and July Parade
Sonja Overman reports a vibrant Tulip Time in Pella with blooming tulips and flowering bushes, despite a minor kerfuffle over a gypsy wagon vendor. Merlyn Van der Leest feared parade mishaps, but Jaycees kept the procession smooth. Sheri Brouwer of the Chamber endured a burst appendicitis after a flurry of tasks, while a legacy of Dutch Cleaners and future projects inspire civic pride as Pella links heritage to America’s 200th birthday celebration.
