All of Pella is getting ready for Tulip Time. City crews have been busy at work tending tulips, filling cracks in asphalt streets, checking the light on the Tulip Toren, among many other activities. Pella residents have been getting costumes ready and floats are being prepared for the parade. KNIA/KRLS News asked Bonnie Verberg, Director of the Vermeer Windmill, about what might be new this year in the parade. She says that the parade always has new entries, and that one she is looking forward to seeing is the carpenter’s cart built by expert woodcrafter Randy Wineland. Tulip Time is May 3 through 5.
