We decided to visit Tuesday evening after Patty finished teaching. Barb and I drove up to meet Patty at the farm. We arrived at almost the same time and wound up parking next to each other. Which is no small feat when you see how many people were there.
At $8 per person (bought online; $10 at the farm) these folks were raking in the cash.
Amazing.
The shot above was from the far end of the flower area. And I had to wait to get the foreground free of people. But notice the people and cars in the background.
Cha-Ching!
With clever framing and cropping, and a bit of photoshopping, I was able to get a number of people free shots.
But most times this was the best I could do. And often I didn't even try. Too many peoples.
It was an impressive display, with "millions" of tulips.
But I'm not sure that I'd call this a "festival". It was a field with tulips. That you could walk around in.
Or, as like Patty, tiptoe through.
There was a big wooden shoe. That Patty took over from this little girl.
And a hay ride, which cruised around the tulip field.
And off in a corner where pony rides. And I spotted a food truck off in another corner. Neither adjacent to the tulip field. We did not visit these 'attractions'.
But the tulips were the real attraction.
And the number and variety was impressive. Perhaps not as impressive as in Holland, but pretty good for New Jersey. And much easier to get to.

The three of us agreed that this 'Festival' was worth visiting once. So we're all good.
