The Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival
Annually, the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm organizes a huge festival. The festival has display tents, souvenirs and rides around the farm on its trailers, towed by massive tractors. the format also allows visitors to stroll through forty acres of tulips , all arrayed in rows of dazzling color.
There is a high wind and storm warning on today, hence the wind whipping the flowers around. The cold wind and rain can be common in April, but the festival still attracts hundreds of visitors each day for the entire month.
Three days later, I was delighted to get one decent day of weather. Not only did I manage to fly the tulip farm, but also two fabulously roaring waterfalls and three lakes.
There is a collection from the tulip farm in the gallery below. I added the drone footage at the end of the gallery
At close quarters, my drone sounds and looks like a Klingon Battle Cruiser, so to honor the staff ladies' request not to bother the tourists, I stayed a hundred feet up. there was still a pretty good crowd as closing time approached.
