Hans Christian Andersen As a child I recall the Fairy Tales my Aunt told me by Hans Christian Andersen. Among the celebration held at the Danish Windmill this year was the annual Tivoli Fest over Memorial Day Weekend. The “Tivoli: A Fairy Tale Land” celebrated Hans Christian Andersen 200th birthday with music and festivities throughout the weekend. This is just one of the exciting events held throughout the year at the Danish Windmill.

America you find many unique sites you might not expect. Turn the bend ahead and
who knows what you'll find? We heard about the annual Spring Tulip Time Festival
and were curious about the Old World charm the area offered. We happen to be
