Quilters craft on display for Tulip Time HOLLAND Even though the 2021 Tulip Time Quilt Show was canceled, the annual quilt raffle is still on, giving those who enter a chance to win the Happy Tulips! quilt with a positive message and plenty of color.  Typically raffle ticket sales benefit a local nonprofit. This year, the Tulip Time Quilt Show Committee is donating the proceeds to the Tulip Time festival itself, in the hopes the festival will be able to return in 2022 after the financial blow of the 2020 cancellation.  Colleen Dekker and Cheryl Zylman, members of the quilt show committee, worked together to design and create this year s quilt. At 53 by 53 inches, Happy Tulips! is made with cotton batik fabric and designed to serve as a decorative wall-hanging quilt. 

Senior residents perform for festivalgoers with cardio drumming

Senior residents perform for festivalgoers with cardio drumming Sentinel Staff HOLLAND Residents at Resthaven s Warm Friend Senior Living Community in downtown Holland are bringing cardio drumming to Tulip Time. Shortly after 2:15 p.m. Tuesday, May 4, residents began their first performance, drumming to the festival classic “Tip Toe through the Tulips,” and other all-time favorites.  Cardio drumming, according to a statement from Resthaven, is a new fitness trend for all ages. Residents at Warm Friend created a group in hopes to learn something new and have a little fun along the way. The primary goal of our drumming group is to have fun, but the health benefits are equally important,” said resident and retired music director Kerry Daab. Cardio drumming is good for the heart, it gets people physically active, it sharpens the memory and it provides a social connection with others in the group.”
