The Christmas Tour of Homes in Pella returns this week. Jill Vandevoort with the Pella Convention and Visitors Bureau says the annual event will feature “homes through the decades” this Thursday through Saturday. Vandevoort says four stops will be decorated with holiday themes and ideas, generated by the homeowners, volunteers, and local sponsors. Additionally, Vandevoort says the three days of the event are a great time to visit Pella, with a wide range of community events and activities ongoing for both residents and visitors to enjoy, including the new Kerstmarkt on the Molengracht, featuring unique vendors selling hand-crafted items. Tickets for the Pella Christmas Tour of Homes cost $18 and can be purchased online at visitpella.com or at several local retailers.
