Woodland CA Highland Games April 28-29
Attention NorCal Rabble!
The first big Highland Games of the season are coming up fast!
I believe we have a few of members to cheer on in the heavy athletic events (Tim C, Bill C, Alan H) and possibly the bagpipe competition (PiperGeorge and the Santa Cruz Pipe and Drums)
It is a two day event and we should see how many of the rabble we can can gather on one of the days.
Here is the scoop.

The F-H.C.A.G. and I will be at The Devils Canyon Brewery on Friday for Beer/Kilt Night. We haven't decided yet which day we will be attending the Games (though I lean toward Saturday).

... with how many kilts? accessories?
I'm in for Saturday, and likely Sunday, as well. But there are only two weeks left to plan my outfits!?
Let's see... one camo kilt for traveling and wearing in the hot sun on Saturday while cheering on the combatants (...er, competitors...), another in wool for a festive outing Saturday night, a third for sleeping in, a fresh fourth tartan for a cool Sunday morning, then back to the ever-useful traveling camo. OK, that's four... oh, maybe get by with three... unless I sleep in the camo kilt (...been done before)...
Then the decisions on daywear and eveningwear sporrans and belts, shoes and hose vs. sandals (no place for sgian dubh), a jacket(?), sun-blocking headwear, and on and on, oh my! (These are such extreme exercises in coordination!)
And musn't forget the lawn chairs and ice chest for the spectators' area by the athletic field.
GO FOR IT Tim, Bill, and Alan! See you there.
