La Conner Rotary Club members and La Conner parks commissioners joined forces the morning of Oct. 19, planting tulip bulbs in nine wine barrels inside the roundabout east of town. Special care was used as some of the bulbs planted are individually donated "Ethan Smiles" bulbs. They are in the three barrels located at the points of the roundabout as you drive into it from any direction. The remainder of the six barrels were planted using bulbs purchased from the Roozens at Washington Bulb Company. This coming April, we will see our hard work explode into many beautiful colors as a wonderful tribute to Ethan Chapin.

The Rotary volunteers were Lori Buher, Carol Yaw, Marty Pease, Randy Goembel and Ollie Iversen. Pease and Iversen are also on the parks commission.
