"We want to get a variety of colors so we can share them with our families, let them choose if they weren't able to make it out here today, little breezy, little cool, but we're making the most of it and it's a beautiful day," said event attendee Charlie Karchner.
Tulip Day in Hazleton had a strong showing, with organizers saying more than 2,000 guests came out for the event.
