The theme of this week’s Thursdays in Pella activities was Block Party. The event included a Lego contest, as youth were encouraged to drop off their creations to have a chance to win prizes. Several activities were held in Central Park, including a dunk tank, face painting, balloon animals, a rock climbing wall, robotics, giant Jenga, and more. There were free sweets throughout the event, along with the return of the expanded food court. Seth Wagen performed for over an hour ahead of the City Band on the Tulip Toren. The KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio is broadcasting weekly from Thursdays in Pella. Next week is Ag in the City.
