Tulip Time 2013
Pella’s Tulip Time celebration begins today. The celebration will continue tomorrow and Saturday. The first Tulip Time in 1935 was planned in just two weeks following Pella High School’s very successful performance of an operetta called “Tulip Time in Pella.” Prompted by local businessman Lon Wormhoudt and Central College President Irwin Lubbers, the Chamber of Commerce discussed holding an annual Tulip Day or festival to promote and commemorate Pella’s Dutch heritage. Six committees were formed and they immediately went to work. Pete Kuyper, founder of the Rollscreen Company, now Pella Corporation, was a firm believer in and backer of such a festival. For more information about the event visit http://www.pellatuliptime.com/ or pick up a Tulip Time Special Section at the informational windmill on the square.
