SUMMARY:Tulip Town
DESCRIPTION:Starting with Tulip Town’s Opening Day of Bloom 2026 on April 1 and throughout April\, the scrappy squad promises to deliver an idyllic day on the farm for the whole family (think old-school trolley treks through the tulips\, a retail boutique brimming with local artisan wares\, a beer and wine garden\, café and an abundance of color throughout their outdoor garden and 10\,000 square foot indoor displays). \nAnd yet\, due to regional flooding during the planting season last fall\, the fields are going to look a bit different than they have in past years. \n“It’s so painful as a farmer to do everything’ right’ and then get hammered by the rain in a way that our valley has never seen before\,” said Andrew Miller\, partner at Spinach Bus Ventures. “We talked to everyone we knew\, from our neighboring farmers to our suppliers and experts in Holland\, and they all said the same thing: you can’t plant tulips in the mud. We didn’t have another option\, so we planted in the mud and hoped for a miracle. It looks like that miracle is going to have to manifest in another way because we’re just not going to get the color we had hoped to share this year.” \nMost of the fences around the field have been removed\, so guests will be able to experience the tulip blooms up close. \nInside the barn\, visitors can explore 10\,000 square feet of indoor garden space brimming with goods and gifts from area artisans\, thousands of potted tulips for purchase\, local fare\, and even an “Ombre Selfie Wall” featuring rows and rows of live tulips in various colors. \nA snapshot of what to expect from a trip to Tulip Town \n\nOld-school trolley treks through the tulips (weather-dependent)\nShop local at Tulip Town’s retail boutique featuring artisan wares\, goods\, and gifts from Skagit Acres\nBrowse the flower stand and nursery for plants\, pottery\, and more (nearly 5\,000 potted tulips)\nEnjoy local ice cream and treats\nSpecialty espresso drinks from farm-to-fork bistro Skagit Landing\nTulip Town Beer and Wine Garden (sip hyper-local beer\, wine\, and cider under the white string lights strewn overhead)\n\nTICKETS  \n$16 ages 16+ | $10 ages 3-15 \nKids 5 and under are free \nAll General Admission tickets include: \nParking \nEntry \nTrolley Ride (Weather Dependent) \nAccess to the 2026 Bloom Field\, Tulip Gardens\, Indoor Tulip Display & Barn Experience \n

SUMMARY:Katerina Canyon and Raúl Sánchez\, Poetry Reading – IN PERSON
DESCRIPTION:Katerina Canyon and Raúl Sánchez will be doing an in-person poetry reading at Village Books in Bellingham\, WA on April 16\, 2022 from 7:00 – 8:00PM. \nKaterina Canyon is an Award-Winning Poet\, Best Selling Author\, civil rights activist\, and essayist. She will be reading from her new poetry collection Surviving Home\, which was released on November 9\, 2021. Surviving Home is a collection of poems that serve as a memoir of the trauma she experienced and overcame. Concisely arresting and challenging the beliefs of family and the fantasies of tradition\, the poems in Surviving Home show that home is a place that you endure rather than a place where you are nurtured. With unyielding cadence and unparalleled sadness and warmth\, Katerina Canyon contemplates the prejudice and limitations buried in a person’s African American heritage: parents that seem to care for you with one hand and slap you with the other\, the secret desires to be released from the daily burdens of life\, as well as the surprising ways a child chooses to amuse herself. Finding resilience in the unexpected\, this collection tears down the delicate facades of family. Katerina Canyon is a 2021\, 2020\, and 2019 Pushcart Prize Nominee. Her stories have been published in The New York Times and The Huffington Post. \nRaúl Sánchez will be reading from his new poetry collection When There Were No Borders. These poems present and re-present our “tongue\,” our “language\,” our “culture and pride.” Steeped in history and “blood blood blood” unforgotten and dignified\, these poems are never what you expect yet are as familiar as an ancestral landscape. Deeply layered like culture itself\, this book es una flor\, multi-petalled\, many-voiced – sin frontera and utterly unique. From rich love poems to Neruda-esque declamaciónes to canciones and cantos\, this book represents as we were\, and are\, When There Were No Borders\, by presenting the multiverse that is US of America through the voice of one\, Raúl Sánchez\, crossing borders. \nRaúl Sánchez is the former City of Redmond Poet Laureate 2019 – 2021. He teaches poetry in Spanish through the Seattle Arts and Lectures (WITS) program\, also through the Jack Straw Educational Project. In the last three years he volunteered for PONGO Teen Writing at the Juvenile Detention Center. He runs the “Poetry in the Park” event at the Meadowbrook Pond in NE Seattle. His work has appeared in a multitude of journals\, magazines\, and anthologies. His new collection When There Were No Borders was released by Flower Song Press\, McAllen Texas July 2021. His latest book is All Our Brown Skinned Angels. \nVillage Books is located at 1200 11th St\, Bellingham\, WA 98225.
