Tulip Time at Old Prairie Town Topeka, KS |
If you’re considering going, let Gretchen Cole or Bruce Hogle know please so we have a rough idea how many may be participating. Gretchen, Dona & Bruce will be at Old Prairie Town at 9:00. You may join us then, or come later if you wish. Anyone interested in shooting inside the old buildings should contact Gretchen about splitting the $25 fee for doing so. And note, you’ll have to work around the tour groups a little at 10:00, 12:00, and 2:00, but it shouldn’t be too much of a distraction for you. The festival officially begins Sat, the 10th.
