| An Iris amongst the Tulips growing on the 40 Acres of Tulip fields bloomed for the Tulip Fest at the Dutch Wooden Shoe Tulip farm, Open March 20- May 3rd 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Picture was taken Saturday, April 12. The fields are in Woodburn, approximately 30 minutes outside of Salem, and an hour outside of Portland. |

| On Weekends at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Fest in Woodburn, there are steam tractors to look at. The tractors are from the 1900's and can sometimes be seen roaming the fields on days where it isn't as crowded, on April 12th there were thousands of patrons so the steam tractors were amongst the tents closer to the tulip fields, away from the carnival rides, as to not fill the air with the thick steam and smoke. I, unfortunately forgot this mans name, he is one of the 3 men who help explain and give rides on these old beasts from the past. |

| Later in the day Saturday a lot of patrons have headed home, here is just a slice of the 40 Acres of Tulips and of the many patrons who come here to see the beauty of it all. The admission is $5.00 a person, or $20.00 a car, along with the natural beauty of the fields there are tents with treats, wooden shoe carving demonstrations, face paintings, balloon animals, carnival rides, food trucks and wine tastings. Fun for the whole family is to be had at this natural beauty that is here for a few short weeks. |
