As a newcomer to the Skagit Valley years ago, becoming a volunteer at the tulip festival office opened up a whole new world for me. Initially I knew no one in this community, but within a short period of time not only did I make instant friends but learned about the area and the people and its activities. I feel that I became a part of my new home, and I’ve always feel gratitude to the people involved in the Tulip Festival for making it such a fun and pleasant experience.
