The annual journey has begun for Pella’s Tulip Queen and Royal Court.

Queen Mia Andringa and attendants Alexa Klein, Olivia Cunningham, Claire Braafhart, and Ellison Ritzert performed publicly for the first time at the Pella Community Center to kick off a round of nearly 40 appearances leading up to Tulip Time. On Wednesday, the group journeyed to the State Capitol and met with Governor Kim Reynolds and other legislators.
