Tulip Time!

It's officially here, the Holland Tulip Festival.


The town really just comes alive for this festival. Schools let out early. My boss is even letting us have a 2 hour lunch Thursday so we can check out the festivities (and junk food trailers).
Brian and I ventured out yesterday to check out the craft fair. The booths were mediocre really. I suppose I was more interested in getting a corn dog than buying crafts.


We saw a few people walking about in their official Holland garb, right down to the wooden shoes. There was also a town crier yelling something I couldn't quite make out. Brian's determined that he will enter the town crier contest next year. Here's a cute group we found singing in the park.


I have to make time to see some Klompen dancers later this week. Until then, enjoy, yet another, tulip pic!

I guess there's a New Holland beer tent next weekend. Should we venture over and check it out. Isaac will be there for sure.

Yesterday would have been a perfect Tulip time day! Great pictures!

I knew you'd like that Meagan. Your camera would take much better pics, I'm sure.

You can just barely make out the town crier in that group of dutchsters.

He gets to wear a tricorn hat.
