Without volunteers, the Tulip Festival just wouldn’t work, said

Betsy Nevi, staff assistant with the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. With an estimated 25,000 visitors coming through the Tulip Festival’s office during April, volunteers are necessary to keep everything running in the storefront in downtown Mount Vernon. “If you walk in the door, you want to know where the tulip fields are,” Nevi said. Volunteers clue visitors in to what’s going on and what there is to do, and give lots of directions. “We joke that you have to learn to draw upside down,” she said of marking routes on visitors’ maps. Besides those maps, the office had a map of its own, marking where everyone was coming from. “We’ve had them from all over the world,” she said. Besides volunteers giving out directions and keeping everything

running smoothly, Kiwanis volunteers keep tulip peepers’ stomachs filled during their volunteer-run salmon barbecue. The barbecue has been going on for 59 years, and has been offering its fish fare at the festival for the past 25 years. “It’s not quite like a job, but it’s pretty close,” said Tony Flynn, co-chair of the barbecue event and on the Tulip Festival board. “You often get the same rewards and frustrations as you’d get with any other endeavor.” He volunteers to give back, he said, as his life has benefitted from others volunteering before him. They serve festival goers wild-caught salmon and locally grown baked potatoes and coleslaw. “They basically run a restaurant for 23 days with only volunteer labor,” said Cindy Verge, executive director of the festival. Flynn described a typical day as akin to “herding cats.” The volunteers have to have all the pieces put together every day to run an event that

large, he said. There are rewards, the immediate being the compliments one gets from diners, many of whom are from out of town. “They can go to Anthony’s Home Port, but it’s just not the same,” he said. The rewards beyond that are tremendous. The funds help community organizations, local youth with scholarships, and Flynn’s list goes on. Like the broad demographics, which include retirees and high school students alike, volunteers donate their time for a wide variety of reasons. Like Flynn, some may just want to give back. For others who are new to the area, Nevi said, it’s a way to meet people and get to know the Skagit Valley. It sounded like fun, others have told her. Whatever the reason, the organizers of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival are grateful. “It sounds trite,” Verge said. “But we could not do the festival without volunteers.”

A BIG Thanks to our Volunteers!


MOUNT VERNON -

When Kate Larsson visited Skagit Valley to present her vision of the Tulip

Festival poster, she wanted to hit it out of the park. Twice before, she’d been a finalist in the contest to select the one image representing the annual April festival, but didn’t win. But this time, more than a year ago, Larsson arrived with four finished artworks. The judges selected a restful still life of red tulips on a kitchen table. “I just wanted to present something different and something that more people would want to put in their kitchens,” Larsson, of Gig Harbor, said. The result is a vibrant painting with bold lines, and a quality that evokes the French pastoral style. A full bunch of red tulips bow from a blue and white vase. Larsson said she thought of old country kitchens when creating this artwork. “That’s part of the reason I used the yellow and white striped wallpaper,” she said of the painting’s background. “It’s really common in the old country.” Cindy Verge, executive director of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, said artists from all over the area are invited to pitch their ideas for a festival poster. Between 30 and 50 people apply, and five become finalists, she said. The posters must have an artistic value, she said, but they must also have mass appeal. “Part of our poster program is to create different images that people are going to want to collect in different years,”

Kate Larsson, 63, of Gig Harbor, shown with her water color painting, is this year’s Tulip Festival artist. Larsson spent 28 years as a marketing person with Xerox Corporation. Fourteen years ago she developed her art career, going full time and leaving her marketing position nine years ago. She sells her work in 196 stores nationally, and attends 22 art festivals a year, traveling throughout the Pacific Northwest as well as California and Arizona.

Verge said. “And to create a set of merchandise that people are going to buy because it helps our bottom line.” Larsson, who sells her artwork in nearly 200 stores nationwide, said she has a feel for what people like. While the painting looks like a traditional still life, that’s not how Larsson works. One painting could be a composite of more than 15 photographs, she said. “I take pictures of tulips,” she said. “What I do is I incorporate a lot of pictures that I’ve taken and then I do my composition.”

Salmon BBQby TAHLIA HONEA

The Kiwanis Club of Mount Vernon hosts a salmon barbecue nearly every

day throughout the Tulip Festival, raising money for both local, national and international causes that help children. The locally caught wild silver salmon is purchased from the Swinomish Tribe and grilled over smokey alder wood. The barbecue runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. March 31 to April 22, including Easter Sunday. It takes place at Hillcrest Park with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The Hillcrest Lodge, built during the Great Depression by the Civilian Conservation Corps offers a “warm

and cozy” atmosphere “with a lot of history,” said Tony Flynn, co-chair of the Kiwanis Club. The cost for lunch or dinner is $12 and includes salmon, a baked potato, garlic bread, coleslaw, a beverage and an ice cream bar. All of the profits go to charity, chiefly scholarships for college and trade schools. In past years, the barbecue has raised $160,000 during the festival. “And all that goes right back into the community,” Flynn said. The club serves an average of three tons of salmon, one ton of coleslaw, a 55-gallon drum of tartar sauce, 750 loaves of garlic bread and 9,000 ice cream bars. The Kiwanis have been hosting the annual barbecue for the past 59 years. It began at the Skagit County Fairgrounds, then later moved to Hillcrest Park. It has been associated with the Tulip Festival for the past

25 years. In recent years, the barbecue has helped fund a new park on 18th Street (named after the club), and has provided benefits to tsunami victims in Japan, an orphanage in Ghana and the Friendship House homeless shelter and the dental van, among other community charities. “It’s all focused towards kids and youth,” Flynn said. Other Kiwanis clubs in the area, as well as other volunteer groups, help prepare and serve the meals. Cooks include notable local professionals including Skagit County Sheriff Will Reichardt, former Sheriff Rick Grimstead and retired businessman Jim Grenz. Former longtime manager at Safeway Jerry Jewett has manned the cash register for years and is known to work 60-hour weeks volunteering at the barbecue.

CommunityActivitiesby MARK STAYTON

Encompassing far more than flowers, the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival provides

fertile ground for many exciting and diverse events throughout Skagit Valley. Here are just a few:

WOODFEST: If you get revved up for chainsaw carvings or turned on by the lathe, check out Woodfest, March 31 though April 1 at Sedro-Woolley High School. Professional wood workers will have hand-made items up for sale, student woodworking projects will be on display, and a silent auction and raffle will be held for finely crafted wooden items. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Skagit County will be putting on activities for children. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 31 and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 1. For more information, call (360) 855-1841 or visit sedro-woolley.com.

KID’S GIANT GARAGE SALE: From the under the bed, out of the depths of the closet and the

dark recesses of the garage, they come. Puzzles, snowboards, bikes, and action figures, gathered by young entrepreneurs looking for some cash, go up for sale at the Kid’s Giant Garage Sale. Christi Kinney, recreation coordinator of Burlington Parks and Recreation Department, said the garage sale is a great way for kids under age 18 to earn a little spending money of their own. The young ones price items, pitch sales and handle money themselves, giving them an introduction to business as well. The sale will be held on April 14, 9 a.m. to noon, at the Burlington Parks and Rec Center, 900 Fairhaven Ave., in Burlington. Great prices and lots of fun will be found, so be sure to get there early. Admission is free, and vendors can secure a table for $10. To register or learn more, call (360) 755-9649 or visit www.ci.burlington.wa.us.

TULIP PEDAL: If you need one more reason to go on a bike ride that tours the tulip fields, leading to sweeping vistas of Mount Baker, the Cascade foothills and Padilla and Samish bays, here’s one: It’s for charity. The 31st Annual Tulip Pedal will be hitting the road April 21, offering 20-, 40- and 60-mile rides

up the coast starting at La Conner Middle School. This event is the sole benefactor of Safe Kids Skagit County, which works to prevent accidental injury in children. Registration is $30 before the event and $35 the day-of. Kids under 14 ride free. Call (360) 428-3236 for more information, and register at active.com.

PLANT AND GARDEN TOOL SWAP MEET: Earth Day seems the perfect time to grab a new shovel, pick up some interesting plant starts and get back to gardening. The Plant and Garden Tool Swap Meet, held April 22, is a chance to buy, sell and trade seedlings, starts and gardening tools, as well as swap secrets with local growers. The meet will be held in the Burlington City Hall parking lot, 833 S. Spruce St., from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Vendors can rent a parking space for $20. Proceeds will go to the Burlington Parks Foundation scholarship fund, which supports local art classes and helps send kids to summer camp. To register or for more information, call (360) 757-0835, or visit www.ci.burlington.wa.us.

Additional Traf fic Tipsby LYNSI BURTON

The tulip and daffodil fields of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival are scattered throughout a triangle

of land in west Skagit County enclosed by Highway 20 to the north, the Swinomish Channel to the west and the Skagit River to the south. The tulip fields can be explored by car, bike or foot, though activities and fields are often miles apart. Tulips can bloom any time between late March and mid-April, depending on the year, and are in flower for two weeks. However, because RoozenGaarde and Tulip Town feature several varieties, tulips can be enjoyed throughout the

month of April. Tulip information can be accessed at businesses off Interstate 5, many from exits 221 to 231. For the least crowded times, come mid-week or in the early morning or late afternoon on weekends. Parking at Tulip Town and RoozenGaarde is free and additional lots near the fields will be open depending on the weather. Some private landowners not connected to the festival open their property for parking, though

they tend to charge for the service. Shoulder parking is scarce and the Skagit County Sheriff ’s Office enforces parking violations with tickets.

The tulip routes are largely rural roads that become easily clogged, especially when slow-moving farm equipment is on the road. Use patience and find alternate routes as available.

An elegant affordable European-style Inn with large comfortable rooms.
