2018 Tulips of the Valley Contest Winners

Another amazing season has come and gone, and with it came some outstanding photographs of our fields! With the addition of the hyacinths and daffodils this year (along with our swing and numerous other photo ops), our guests went crazy with their cameras! It was quite the treat to explore all the contest entries that were entered using our hashtag #TulipsoftheValley. It also made it all that more difficult to make our choices because there was such an amazing variety and the total number of entries was staggering

After some struggle, we choose our catagory winners. Then we decided to award some runner-up prizes in each category because there were so many good entries! Each of our runner-ups will receive a Family Pass to come to our 2019 Festival next April

We also added a surprise Miscellaneous category for all those shots that didn’t fit into a specific category that were too sweet to pass up! Each of these winners will receive a $20 gift certificate to Chilliwack River Honey and a Family Pass to our 2019 Festival..
