While in Iowa we decided to experience some of the Iowa culture that is around us. Tulip Time in Pella, Iowa is one of those things to experience.
There is way too much that we saw today to blog all of it, so you will need to hit the photo archives (not on line) to see everything. But I will show you a couple of the highlights here.
Tulip Time in Pella is more than a celebration of Tulips (they do have plenty of those through the city) but it is a celebration of the Dutch heritage that is prominent in their community.
They had Dutch Dancers in wooden shoes
Dutch food, which of course we had to sample
A working windmill that we toured... this one is a flour mill.
Historical cheese purchasing process (with free samples)
Hundreds of street sweepers and a parade
and of course tulips everywhere...
