This is the information I was recently handed at the San Antonio games:

To all Clans, Vendors, and Performers:

Slainte’! This letter is to introduce you to the First Annual Kerr County Celtic Festival and Third Annual Highland Games to be held in Ingram, Texas at the Hill Country Arts Foundation on Hwy. 39. This festival will be held August 15 & 16, 2015. It is our hope to have this be and incredible additional to the Celtic Festival Circuit that so enriches our heritage in this part of the nation. It is our goal to bring teaching events as well as fun and entertainment to one and all. Please “Like” the Kerr County Celtic Association on Facebook, and keep up with our progress and announcements, such as a web link to our host hotel, Inn of the Hills, a Hilton affiliate. IOH is offering the festival participants and patrons a very good room rate for a double queen and/or single king room. We are currently checking in with local RV campgrounds for rates for those who wish to primitive camp or bring their RVs. Arrangements will be posted on our Facebook page as well as any additional websites.

Our site will be at the Hill Country Arts Foundation/Pointe Theater along the beautiful Guadalupe River in Ingram. This is also the location of Texas’ own Stonehenge, which will be a central focus of our Festival. This will be a two day event with a full set of Highland Games both days, as well as performances by pipe bands, singers, dancers, story tellers, etc. We also hope to encourage any artisans, historical re-enactors, and other like participants to come help make this inaugural even one to remember. Again, we look forward to seeing you in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, and to be able to wish you all “Cead mil’y Failte”; “A hundred thousand Welcomes”!
