Tartan Ball Group pics Tampa

**Shriner** · 15th October 07, 08:30 AM

In February, I came up with the idea of having a Tartan Ball as a fundraiser for Shriner's Hospital for Children. It was to be headed up by the Egypt Shrine Highlander's Bagpipe Band. Also the Krewe of Shamrock and the Krewe of Brigadoon were invited to help out, both of these being kilted parade krewes. Well after 8 months of planning the event was last Saturday, Oct. 13th. We had in attandence 250 people. Here are some pics from the end of the night of the groups on stage.

This is the Krewe of Shamrocks, I am a member also I am the one with the bucket, I was doing 50/50 and Raffle ticket sales all night. I raised over $ 1,700.00....

More group shots coming....

John, thanks for the report. I am glad to see you know how to kneel in a kilt for photos! Looks like the affair was quite a success.

Excellent pics, showing a fine selection of kilts. Looks like a most enjoyable night had by all. Well done on the fundraising.

Wow, those are wonderful!

Cool pix, but yeah, looks like the guy in the MacKenzie needs to be taught how to kneel correctly... Don't need an underwear flash... At least, we know he's not regimental. Not to mention, a couple of the guys in the New World Celts group. At least, they weren't as splayed out as the first guy in the group.

Anyway, looks like a good time was had by all...
