Tuesday is the deadline for Pella residents to submit their votes for the young ladies of that will make up the 12 finalists for the 2010 Tulip Time Queen and Court. Voters may select their top three candidates from the 23 young ladies nominated and drop their ballots off at specified locations, including the Pella Hy-Vee, Fareway, and Marion County Bank, among other locations.

Rules include only one ballot per voter, and voters must be at least 17 years old and have a permanent home address in the Pella Community School District. Official ballots were included in last week’s local newspapers. The deadline to submit a ballot is 5:00 p.m. Tuesday.

Once the votes have been tallied and the twelve finalists selected, the 2010 Tulip Time Royal Court will be chosen by a panel of judges on November 9th at the Pella Christian High School. Tickets to the event will go on sale next month.
