"A tulip doesn't strive to impress anyone. It doesn't struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn't have to. It is different." - Marianne Williamson
The fields are adorned with tulips of all variety and color at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival.

HISTORY
What started as a humble 15 acres in the 1980's has now transformed into a 40 acre field of tulips. Tulips are planted each October by three machines purchased from Holland.

Every year a new variety of tulips are planted and arranged differently for people from all over the world to enjoy.
