While in George, Iowa we went to the yearly tulip festive, one problem tho, the tulips were a week late in flowering so there was not many to see. We did go to the Tulip parade and that was very enjoyable, some of us enjoyed the parade while one of us took the opportunity to take a nap.
What began in 1936 as a small celebration of Orange City’s Dutch heritage has led to over 70 years of what is now known as the Tulip Festival. The annual celebration occurs every third weekend in May.
Below are some pics of the festival that I took
Clog Dancers clogs
Took about 20 shots to get a picture of these clogs.
All Hand Made

The guy that owns this t-shirt is Mike and Audrey's son in law. I was a little taken back by seeing a Aussie t-shirt at the Orange County Tulip Festival in Iowa, USA . BACA stands for Bikers Against Child Abuse.
