The theme of this week’s Thursdays in Pella is Rollout. The event is First Responder Appreciation Night, and will include a meet and greet with the first responders of the area and their vehicles, including the Pella Police Department, Pella Ambulance, Pella Fire, Knoxville Police, the Iowa State Patrol, and Marion County Sheriff’s Office. Entertainment includes a demonstration by Pella Brazilian Jiu Jitsu on the Tulip Toren for nearly two hours before the performance of the City Band. Inflatables will return, as will a gladiator joust. The KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio is broadcasting from every Thursdays in Pella this summer.
