Pella author, and former teacher to many of you, Tricia Ballenger will be reading her new book “If you go to Tulip Time” July 11th in Central Park. Tricia taught kindergarten in Pella at Lincoln, Webster and Madison schools for 25 years, and always wanted a book that children could read to learn more about the history of Tulip Time. She says she fell in love with Tulip Time when her family moved to Pella from Oskaloosa when she was in first grade.
