church outing

[kenNYG]

I ended up at my conservative church's october fest tonight in my kilt and everyone loved it. The women asked me were to get a kilt, one wanted one for her sons and the others just wanted to know why I had a kilt on. I said "for the fun". The guy's, well they just looked. There's just no way (as you know) how to tell someone what it's like to be kilted. I know that my wife was proud of me. The Pastor of my Church commented on the kilt too.
At church or the hardware store it just fun.

... At church or the hardware store it just fun.

Have you just figured this out??

BTW... I always thought that the October Fest thing was a German tradition of "eating and drinking to excess" event! So what sort of conservative church is this?? :smile:

Blu that's what ran through my mind as well.... was this an "October festival" or an "Oktoberfest"?

Oktoberfest in September? Oh yeah I was at one last weekend! It is great to mix the cultures and traditions.

Hurrah!!! Sounds like an excellent outing.

Glad to hear your pastor approves, mine I think tolerates the kilt, but doesn't rave about it.

I presume you're refering to Scotchtoberfest! :-P

Well it's a Roman Catholic Church. I miss stated the octoberfest. This year it was called fall fest. That is why I went in my kilt this year as aposed to the last 12 going as one of the crowd. The Pastor did make a comment but just "O". He knows that the scouting crew that I have is the one that wears kilts. I had talked to him before the kids made final approval of the kilts. He o.k.ed it, that way I covered myself so that when the other scouting adults (if you can call them adults) said I can't use kilts as a uniform bottom I could say that the Pastor o.k.ed it.
Yes I have only known how it feels to wear one for just a few years but it's like it's been forever.
My mother thinks it "cool too". The wife is cool with it too now but it was slow going at first.
Do you use a Kilt pin like a wieght to keep down the apron or do you pin together both parts?

Kilt pins only go through one layer. The underapron or apron will likely tear if you're very active at all with a pin through both layers.
