Captmac and I will be there, along with Molly and Hector, properly attired for the dog parade. We will be showing up on Friday evening, and camping there on the grounds. If anyone wants to stop by to visit, it's they grey Dodge Quad cab truck and a tent, and 2 large Golden Retrievers. You can't miss us.
The Clan MacKenzie tent will be next door to Charlie Lamb.

Oh cool I will be there all Day Sat too you! Any one visiting this event will have to look me and Gary up!!! We will be running a booth so look for us!

Also this event is on http://www.kiltnight.net a sight Daren from Alpha kilts put together to help people to know about events in your local area. This is a great resource if you have not heard about it. Also if you are planning or know of an event in your local area add it to the website so others will know about it too!! This is an additional place for people to check out who may not be privy to this forum and if they show up its a great way to recruit for xmarks.

Am I missing something, or is there no athletics? How can you have a gathering with no games? It is a tough decision, gathering or dancing at a local Pow-wow. AAAHHH what to do? (Isn't it tough when you celebrate multiple aspects of your heritage!?)

No games.
The event is sponsered by the Peace Presbyterian Church, and is held in the open space on the church grounds. More of a heritage celebration than an athletic event.
