Washington students will be tiptoeing through the tulips in Pella this week. The Washington High School and Middle School bands will be performing at the annual Tulip Time festival in Pella. The bands will be in the Tulip Parade Friday. The first Tulip Time was held in 1935 in Pella and this year’s three-day event is the 84th festival celebrating Dutch culture in Pella. Flower beds throughout the town are full of blooming tulips, planted on certain dates so they’re at their prime during the town’s celebration.
