Canadian Tulip Festival: Ottawa, Canada May 2015

Ed, are you volunteering to help promote next year's?

I had to spin out shortly after the reenacted battle because of Mother's Day arrangements. But the others on my end of the field were staying the night.

The reenacting was part of the official program and on the event map. It is well displayed on the website and program of activities. Not much more to be done except maybe march a few platoons line-abreast through the tulip display areas herding tourists in front of them towards the other side.

If those of you who were at the site, thought that it was what you wanted, and it met your needs and expected public attendance, then fine, stick with it.

If the intent was to bring public awareness to the 70th Anniversary and to the military enthusiast hobby in general, then what I am suggesting that perhaps you may wish to reconsider the location.

Either way, this should be something that your organizers look at and discuss with the Tulip Festival.

Well the next biggie (75th) isn't for another 5 years so plenty of time for organizers to figure things out.
Hopefully, they can have a parade and will be better organized in advance for hobbyists and collectors next time around.
