After nearly six weeks traveling the state, the Tulip Queen and Royal Court is ready to celebrate the 84th annual Tulip Time this week. Olivia Vander Leest, Mary Kate Bandstra, Isabella Baugh, Camryn Huyser, and Emily Schreur all shared with KRLS some of their favorite Tulip Time destinations and food as they encourage all residents to get involved with the celebration.

-Bandstra plans to go for a triple threat burger, best eaten while strolling through the new Scholte Gardens
-Huyser says residents and visitors should take a city tour
-Schreur takes in as many tulips as she can by walking around town
-Baugh loves the poffertjes and watching the Dutch dancers

Queen Vander Leest will be officially crowned Thursday during the annual coronation ceremony at 1 p.m. on the Tulip Toren. Stay tuned to 92.1 KRLS, the official radio station of Tulip Time, for continuing updates.
