Residents were invited to bring their pets to the downtown Pella square last night.

The theme for this week’s Thursday in Pella activities was “Bark in the Park.” A pet tricks contest and pet fashion show was held on the Tulip Toren. Happily Ever After Animal Rescue and the Marion County Humane Society also had adoptables downtown and discussed pet rescues and adoptions. The KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio is broadcasting from every Thursdays in Pella event this summer.
