An annual breakfast hosted by the Tulip Time Steering Committee for volunteers and event organizers highlighted another successful festival. Pella Historical Museums Executive Director Valerie Van Kooten says initial financial projections from the 2023 celebration show a track of comparable profits for the organization to the 2019 and 2022 events. Van Kooten says beyond the impact to Pella Historical, a near perfect tulip bloom in late April drew a ton of economic activity to the community in the week leading up to the celebration.
