The theme for this week’s Thursdays in Pella is Science is Cool.

Activities and entertainment will focus on science on the downtown square beginning at 6 p.m. The KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio is broadcasting from every Thursdays in Pella event this summer.

In conjunction with more family oriented activities on the downtown Pella square, the Pella Area Community and Economic Alliance is hosting the first Thursdays on the Canal on the Molengracht Plaza. Residents 21 and over are invited to listen to live music with drinks and food on the canal each Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m. through July 20th. This week’s musician will be Rob Burchett.
