and you are the dutch dance program director and i say the right to remain right that's correct yeah if you pronounce that correctly i answer to a lot yes got it right well and tell us of we're going to talk about something very special this year in the in the marketplace but before we do that tell us a little bit about how long you've been connected to tulip time and how you're connected well this will be my eighth festival with two of time of course our family has been involved for a number of years number of ways participating in the parades and such right now i do direct the dutch dance program and i also am an event planner and i oversees the dutch market plus in the art and craft fair which we had earlier this weekend  park and then i also direct one of the shows that the chair to show which plays for during two of time and that's a dinner show out at beechwood church last night we just had a great audience had a great time  and we're looking forward to two more shows i don't know how you can cram it all in there but you do need to do it beautifully i was there at the arts and crafts event this weekend and what a phenomenal display of all things a little something for everybody there really really is now tell us a little bit about the marketplace and what is that all about and where is it located and how can people take advantage of this well our dutch market plotz is located just down the street at the holland civic center and yesterday was the first day and it runs all week through saturday from ten am until six pm and our theme at dutch market plus is all things dutch and that's truly what it is if you want to get a little taste of anything doubt you will want come to market plots we have a whole food court of homemade food by local women the funds they raise are used for various charities and they just it's just amazing they have some of the traditional you know like picking the blankets and pieces but some other things too and my favorite are the real dutch chocolate brownies they are all made easy all right you sold me right there is where i head down i'm going to say i think so to get into the marketplace it's absolutely free in addition to the food court we have entertainment going on on the stage which of course includes our dutch dancers but some other things some informational pieces  and music and just a variety every day and then the main area of the auditorium is filled with senders and again our theme is all things dutch folk some unique things that you might find there that you wouldn't anywhere else any other time of year that's really cool so you could either purchase a trinket or treasure or you could eat a trinket or treasure and either way you're going to have a very full embrace the dutch experience is this is first time that you've done the market plots in the civic center or first time ever i know it's been there for a number of years and i think the community is not always so aware and one thing we want to let you know today of course parking is difficult because of the parade and it's such a busy day but if you come down any other day there's lots of parking and just pull into the lot and pop into the civic center for a bite to eat and it's really great you know something you can do only during this week o two time and very simple to just pull in parking's easy  especially on friday when we don't have the parades going but even on thursday it's not difficult to get in there and that's from ten until six and that is it goes through saturday or through sunday through saturday ok through saturday closes saturday at six pm there's still many as if you come down you can experience the dutch market plots then if you feel like it i would advise going on the myer carnival before maybe you go to eat but it's really up to you but there's so much that's walkable right here judy i mean it's just all right here it is so you have so much going on and it's just so many things we can take advantage of in the weather's beautiful in the to observe blooming and the trees are below me is just gorgeous and i was just down the other end of a  feel the excitement in the air and you see people gathering people from literally all over the world i met people from australia china russia germany and met a lot of people from right here in holland in the middle and yeah and i just i helped a couple earlier that was unfortunately they were going the wrong way on a one way street but they were from ohio and they got settled well and so they're seated and they're doing well and they're excited about this because judge dancers will pretty much go all the way down the  from river to columbia ok it's where they will be dancing and then we have a group that will be dancing down at the civic center by the bleachers there as well as both at one o'clock ok want to class well anything else you want to share with us on this gorgeous day i just   courage everybody to come on out if you're being a couch potato a home come on now in and enjoy the festivities here where else in the world can you come out and see people in wooden shoes clomping around i didn't grow up here in h proper and i think so often we don't appreciate what's right here in our backyard we kind of take it for granted just come out be part of the festivities and have fun with your friends and family and gorgeous perfect day you couldn't have s better so thank you so much for all that you're doing and all of the folks here the the people that are working with philip time as well as those that are volunteering their time and talents so stay tuned we're going to have a day full of great adventure as well as of course a wonderful parade of ours and frank or i will be back as well and we'll pause here for a moment and let you drink in the rest of what's happening with tool t
