Tulip Festival 2026- Parades.

We had a great time enjoying our town's Tulip Festival! While sickness changed our initial hopes and we didn't get to see all the family we had planned, we made the best of what we could do and had a good time! 

Sneaking in a few more rides!



On the last night in the last parade, the alumni band marches in the parade and it's Kley's favorite!


Band was not a big deal at my high school, so it's fun to see how many people do it and enjoy it here.


We got to see my sister Kayla for a day! She stayed with our cousin in Sioux Falls, but I got to run the 5K with her and she got to see the girls for a few hours and enjoy a parade together!


Lucy and Ellory rode a float in a parade! Lucy was sitting down on the other side, so you couldn't see her, but Ellory was sitting on this bench so cutely waving to everyone!


Some of the floats- so neat!



Norah and her good friend Brooke got to carry a banner together- a fun honor!



The band.


Norah and the banner carriers.


Love this picture!


This is the float Lucy and Ellory got to ride on- it's brand new this year and modeled after the remodeling that was done in our town's downtown park over this last year. So cool!
