The schedule for the Tulip festival arrived yesterday. It starts April 1st and runs all month. There are tons of scheduled events, like art shows barbeques, a street fair, oh and walking through miles of tulip fields (some daffodils, early in the month, but those are treated like blonde step children). Check it out at: www.TulipFestival.org
Just an idle thought. Maybe meet at one of the Kiwanis salmon barbeques. They are happening every day, so timing isn’t an issue. There are also concerts on weekends.
ok, talk among yourselves and get back to me.
Oh, I’m not actually offering to coordinate or anything, I was hoping it could just happen without fuss or bother. You know, everyone just decides to show up at the same place at the same time?
Sorry for the lack of replies (well, I only take responsibility for my own lack, I haven’t been here much for awhile, but anyway…)
I’ll meet you there, if my life allows me to do so when YOU can do so. It is a glorious celebration IMHO. The flowers are stunning…each one is gorgeous by itself, but “en masse” in the fields it is a sight you have to see to believe. Truly not to be missed if at all possible. Also, LaConnor is a very fun town to meander around in. If no one else is interested, I’d be up for dinner and the meander through the fields and/or the town.
Would you mind if I had a friendly passing mod change the title to PNW instead of NW? It might draw more folks attention. Maybe not, and maybe you are right and closer would be better.
The title change is great. I can e-mail a Mod.
My husband and I go every year. Even though the same field might have the same color as the previous year, its still brand new.
We’ve never been to any of the activities, so we thought we would this year.
As it approaches we can decide on a date. It depends on the weather, of course. we stay this warm, early in the month will be better, but if it gets cold again, they might be late.
As far as few replies goes, I posted at an odd time so its my own fault.
I am glad you bumped it though.
I asked Dex if he could change the title since I was e-mailing him about something else. He hasn’t gotten back to me yet. I may still have to go through one of the Mods for this forum.
If you folks pic a day let me know. I like to go up there to get photos and last year i nearly missed it. If I’m available I’ll drive up for some photo shots and some visiting.
If anyone is still interested in getting together for this, we should make some decisions. Unfortunately, I was down in mid March, and the tulips were already starting to bloom. It is has been such a mild winter, I’m not sure there will BE any tulips to view during the festival. There are still “events”, though…
