Local businesses are reaping the benefits of thousands of visitors in Pella this weekend.
Executive Director of the Pella Chamber Karen Eischen says many retailers rely on big sales during Tulip Time to be profitable. She says the season starts two weeks before the festival begins, and that good weather this year has led to a big boost for the local economy. The Pella Chamber of Commerce encourages area residents and visitors coming to Pella for Tulip Time to check out many of the businesses near the downtown square.
