Fergus Highland Games Aug. 7-9 2009

So who is going to Fergus this year? Pete was saying he would get the campsite we have enjoyed for the past two years, but is requesting the money up front this time. Catherine and I will be doing a Clan tent for the Clan MacKinnon Society, all are welcome to come by the tent. We will be there for the duration of the games rain or shine, I really hope it shines, we got enough rain last year. Here is the website for the games

It is always a great time in Fergus, here are the photos from 2007

I had thought about going, and earlier this year had even looked into becoming a vendor, but my wife's due date is the 8th, so that nixed it for me!

I've had to postpone my trip planned for June, so I may try to make these this year. Put me down in the "maybe" list.

And what makes you think that you're welcome, heck what makes you think that I'm even welcome? Do you think that you're more welcome than I? And if you are, can you sneak me in in your trunk?

Sorry Grant we have trained police dogs to sniff you out, so no matter how you get in this year we'll find you no pretending to be part of the crowd .

I'll still be down here in Georgia, so no Fergus for me.
I guess I'll just have to find a kilt-loving peach to comfort me while I miss one of the main gatherings of the SOKS this year. Oh well.
(Grant - remind me to tell you about the two friendly lasses from last night)
