We're almost ready! 
 

As you can image, there's lots of last-minute bustle here. I'm sure you would recognize the kind of activity that's inevitable just before you throw a great party. Of course, there are 1,000 of us preparing seating and carnival rides, food and floats, art displays and theatre sets. The children are rehearsing in the streets so music fills the air. Many of us have been working all year to get ready for your arrival, doing everything we can to assure a fantastic event! 

That's why the final ingredient, the one we can never control, is something we watch with anticipation. Weather!  
So I couldn't resist sharing yesterday's e-mail (below) from an area friend of the Festival. He's a meteorologist, previously with the National Weather Service, and his forecast is great weather: sunshine, breezes, low humidity!

So come join the fun! We've got more activities this year than ever  before and there's something for everyone from toddlers to teens to senior citizens. Check the web for details  octulipfestival.com  and plan your weekend in the sun here at the Orange City Tulip Festival... or come on Thursday before our biggest crowds arrive! 
It's promising to be our best Festival ever. 

 

WEATHER FORECAST FOR ORANGE CITY TULIP FESTIVAL LOOKS GREAT
 

Monday, May 14, 2007 10:13 AM

The weather still looks excellent for the upcoming Tulip Festival.
Skies will be sunny with favorable temperatures. Normal lows and highs for that time period
are 50 and 74, and overall, temperatures will be slightly above normal. Dew points
will be in the mid to upper 40s, making for low relative humidities. Dry weather is
expected, as the NWS has dropped any mention of scattered showers for Friday or Saturday...
HIGHLIGHTS:
Thurs May 17: Sunny. Low 48, high 75.
Fri May 18: Sunny. Low 54, high 77.
Sat May 19: Sunny. Low 56, high 82.
