The Pella Opera House and Pella Convention and Visitors Bureau are hosting a women’s weekend March 1-2. Pella Opera House Director Cyndi Atkins says activities will include an evening and morning of fun.

Festivities will include Taste of Pella Appetizers at 5:30 p.m., followed by a Divas Through The Decades performance at 7 p.m. on March 1st. On Saturday the 2nd, attendees can enjoy a Brunch and Style Show at 9 a.m. presented by Pella’s boutiques. All activities will take place at the Pella Opera House.

“After a long, cold winter, what can be more uplifting than a great show and having fun with friends?” Pella Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Director Jill Vandevoort said. “Pella is known as a great place for women to spend a day, from shopping to food to entertainment and more. So we decided to build on that and create a weekend event all about women.”

Tickets for the entire event cost $40 and can be purchased online at www.pellaoperahouse.org. Hear more about Women’s Weekend in Pella on today’s Let’s Talk Pella.

The Divas Through the Decades performance is a tribute to some of the most influential female vocalists in American pop music from the 1940’s through today.

Featured retailers are bakeries, meat markets, a chocolate shop, and more. The Brunch and Style Show March 2 will showcase the latest trends for ages children through adults, created by local businesses.
