Agriculture took over the downtown square this evening for Thursdays in Pella.

The annual Ag in the City highlighted the industry with activities, entertainment, displays, and contests. Mary Van Zante with Marion County Farm Bureau tells KNIA/KRLS News it was a night to share the impact agriculture has locally and around the globe.

Colby Wackerly won the Little Mister America Award and Whitley Sorheim won Little Miss Firecracker.

Entertainment on the Tulip Toren included that presentation, as well as Dr. Bob Leonard interviewing livestock farmers, and the Pella FFA presenting about their previous year. Vermeer, Lely, and other local groups displayed their products as well.

The KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio is broadcasting from every Thursdays in Pella this summer.
