The Pella Area Community and Economic Alliance is gearing up for the upcoming Thursdays in Pella. Mary Mansfield with the PACE Alliance says each Thursday in June and July, volunteers and local businesses will partner to host several activities in downtown Pella. Each evening will include food stands, performances on the Tulip Toren, and the City Band wrapping up the night. This week’s theme is Fam Fest, which includes the annual bike rodeo, a parent/child look alike contest, and live entertainment on the Tulip Toren, including The Dans Company and Magician Rick Eugene. The KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio is broadcasting during every Thursdays in Pella event this summer.
