The Tulips will be blooming soon...
In late-January, our thoughts often turn to Spring. Soon, we'll see crocus and other early spring bulbs start poking through the earth. Once that happens, it doesn't take long for the now barren landscape to come alive with color.
Spring will be official when the Woodland, WA and the annual Tulip Festival gets underway on April 9th.This year's 5K run/walk among the flowers is on April 2. The Tulip Trot starts at 9AM and is described as a family-friendly event. Although, awards will be given to the top 3 overall male and female runners. Plus all runners will go home with a bouquet of fresh tulips.
