The Pella Tour of Stores is this Monday the 25th from 5pm to 9pm. Local businesses will have snacks and refreshments, carolers will be strolling the streets, the Festival of Trees will be underway at the Opera House, and of course the tree lighting on the Tulip Toren. Karen Eischen, Executive Director of the Pella Chamber of Commerce, says that Christmas time in Pella is similar to going back to a simpler time, and along with a great atmosphere for family and friends to enjoy the season, it’s also a great opportunity to support the community by shopping local. At 5pm Marion County Bank will be selling $100,000 worth of Pella Bucks at a 10% discount, and many local merchants will offer additional discounts as well.
