For nearly 50 years, we’ve had the privilege of celebrating something very special each spring—the next chapter for local students. This year, we awarded scholarships to outstanding students from Pella Community High School, Pella Christian High School, and Knoxville High School, Melcher-Dallas, along with a homeschooled student.

To the the shop owners who welcome the crowds with a smile, even after long days. To the volunteers who show up before sunrise and stay well past closing. To the nonprofit groups who pour their energy into something bigger than themselves. The city workers who quietly keep everything running. The neighbors who step into costume. We see you.
