Agriculture took over downtown Pella Thursday evening with the annual Ag in the City. Numerous displays and food booths related to the industry lined downtown streets and Central Park in Pella. Iowa FFA President and Pella Alumnus Chander Jahner addressed the crowd, and Dr. Bob Leonard conducted a live interview of farmers. Leo Wackerly was named Mr. America and Cecelia Paskach was Miss Little Firecracker — both will participate in the Pella 4th of July parade. The KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio is broadcasting from every Thursdays in Pella this summer. There is no Thursdays in Pella event held by the PACE Alliance next week, as the community will have a 4th of July celebration in the afternoon and evening.
