Tulips Arrive 1 Month Early In Pella - Video - KCCI Des Moines

Pella. Iowa will be experiencing their tulips a month earlier than usual. Pella Tulip Time scheduled for May 3rd - 5th will have a different perspective...Even though the blooms will probably be faded by then, you can still count on lots of Dutch heritage activities to keep you busy.

Earl Wagner - Sprint Car Racer

While out exploring in a little Iowa town recently. I came across a mural painted on the side of a main-street building, just across the alley from the United States Post Office.
After seeing the mural in passing on another occasion this was the day I got the chance for a closer examination.
                A tribute to a  local legendary individual in Midwest car racing named Earl Wagner



Significant Career Accomplishments from 1958 - 1973

 
A beautiful tribute to Earl from the community where he was a longtime resident and public servant...
