Pella scrambles to get ready for Tulip Festival

May 5, 2009 By admin

Tulips and windmill in Pella. Organizers in Pella are keeping an eye on the forecast as they prepare for their annual tulip festival at the end of this week.

Pella Historic Village director, Patsy Sadler, talked about the preparations late Monday.

Sadler said they were "running wild" trying to get things done before it rain again.

Tourism officials say the economy is making people are stay closer to home, or taking shorter trips.

Sadler believes that could lead to an increase in visitors for what is already a popular event. Sadler says what they are seeing already before the festival begins backs up the idea, as they’ve already seen people from the nearby states of Missouri and Minnesota stopping in to see the tulips.

Sadler says that’s why things have been so hectic in Pella as they try to prepare for the festival. Sadler says they still have some flowers to plant and since it has been so muddy, they have had to hold off on the planting. The 74th annual Pella Tulip Festival begins Thursday and runs through Saturday in Pella.
