If today was typical for the Tulip Time festival, thousands of visitors would be converging on the Tulip City, spending money at a variety of vendors and local businesses. But instead, those businesses and non-profit organizations are hurting without a celebration this year. Cyndi Atkins with the Tulip Time Steering Committee says the not-for-profits especially are missing out on a large portion of their budget, and that Unite Midwest, Pella Historical Museum and Tulip Time, and the Steering Committee are asking all residents and regular Tulip Time visitors who can, to support these vendors so they can continue to build, support, and create locally and outside of the community’s borders. A fund has been established to benefit vendors at Tulip Time who are missing out on critical revenue. Find out how to help at: unitemidwest.com/tulip-time
