It's been a long time since I've posted. I used to be a regular, but since 2012, I learned ventriloquism and been busy with that. My puppet, "Rudy" attends the Niagara Celtic Festival with the Clan...

Two day festival and highland games on the southern shore of Lake Ontario in Niagara County New York, in Krull Park (complete address is in Sept Calendar).

The festival features a Living History...

Santa Wally and the Mrs arrived in Niagara County, NY yesterday for the Niagara Celtic Festival this weekend... Sat and Sun, Sept 13 & 14.

Will be putting up the Clan Claus Society tent this...

The engine of that little red sleigh has to let out a HUGE ROAR to push that rig in front of it down the road.

Thanks Ern, meeting you for lunch was a great break during my travel south. A very...

I'll be going south on I-95 in mid-Oct on my way to FL, don't have the date yet that I'll be traveling. I'd be kilted, 'cause that's the way I drive.

Sorry "Willie" and I will be missing from the photo this year, I'll be coming through VA after the games are over. I enjoyed viewing your photos from last year. The only games I got to this year,...

Great pics Mael. The only thing they don't show is the HEAT on Saturday. A great turn out of XMarkers.

It was really HOT today at the VA Games. Especially with wearing my kilted puppet (William Angus Wallace "Willie") on my right arm. The kids enjoyed talking with "Willie". It was his first...

My plan is to be there on Sat., and since I am a Wallace spending some time at the Clan Wallace tent, and at the X-Marks meet-up at the pub tent after the parade.

My LIKE was #45.

What shocking tragic news. My deepest prayers for all the family.

Ern,
Someday I may be in the area when one of your special events is taking place, but not on the 25th.

So far, the closest I get is to the Virginia Games, I'm planning on being there again...

What a BEAUTIFUL tartan Steve, well done! The colors are a perfect representation of the Dress Blues. That will be one handsome kilt.

KiltedKnome, what great pics to allow those of us not there...

I expect to be there on our way back north from TN. Not sure which day just yet. Will be the first games for my new Wallace kilt still being hand sewn by John @ Keltoi, anticipated shipping date...

A closer look at Santa Wally's dandelion on his Ryan Ross bonnet since the Grandfather Mountain photo of XMarkers Mael, Ryan and Wally didn't show our dandelions at their best.

I was hoping to be able to be there either Sat or Sun but today I found out that I have to work both days after taking 5 days off last Thursday through Monday. I usually have Sat OR Sun, but not...

Steve, It still is a great photo, the shirt and hose still looks OK with the kilt.

The emails you cited show the ignorance of some of the general population. Maybe you should make up a kilt of...

I am Jonesing for my new Wallace kilt from Keltoi which I should have within a month. If I get to Edinboro University's Homecoming, we could meet up and get a two-man Wallace photo.

Congrats on her new personal bests.

Yep, you've got me in suspense. I'll be jonesing for the answer.

Tonight I saw the pics that I couldn't see last night. Lookin' dapper again and you've got proof of the cablecar rider taking your pic as you were walking away, so we know it happened.

I didn't see the photos or any links to see them. Other folks made comments about your photos, sorry I missed them. Usually not a problem for me.

That's a LONG walk to your cars in the Summer and it's ALL UPHILL to get home. I can't believe how difficult the walk is in the French Alps Winter.

I always enjoy your posts and photos, keep 'em...

Hear, Hear, my thoughts exactly
