Yesterday my wife and I attended the Western Mass. highland games in Greenfield, MA. It was a picture perfect day in the low 70s bit with apron clutching gusts for most of the morning. Alas, I met no X-Markers there but I did have a good time. Sorry if the pics are rather generic.



Opening ceremonies and calling of the clans:







The pipe and drum bands wandered throughout the grounds all day:



The bonnie knees contest in the clan village (I didn't even try for this):



The requisite heavy games were entertaining:



There were also hearding and frisbee demonstrations:





After the games we retired to the sublime People's Pint for supper and brews.:

Ten minutes after this shot the place was SRO. I saw a couple people in the pub wearing kilts. I believe the gentleman in the photo is wearing black watch.

Anyway, it was a good day and I hope to meet some of you there next year.
