The southwest corner of the stadium, apart from a Scottish dessert booth, seemed to be reserved for activities having nothing to do with traditional Highland games.



I don't know that you see this sort of thing at Highland games in Scotland, but it does make a bit of sense to have something like this at a summer event in Texas.



I'm not sure exactly what this is all about, except that the idea is to catch as many of the "greenbacks" that are blowing around you as you can. I imagine there are prizes, but I don't know what they were.

Speaking of prizes, later on I was accosted in the same general area and asked to enter a drawing for...well, I don't even recall exactly what the prizes were. I think I heard something about a vacation and a car. On Tuesday I got a call and was told I was a finalist (one of 200), and something about Mavericks tickets. I'm thinking there's probably someone else in the Metroplex who needs Mavericks tickets more than I do.

Also in the same area, there were a couple of folks selling some air conditioning ducts or something. One of them, a girl, asked me if she could take my picture, and I obliged. I recognized the product from the Prairie Fest, where my band had a gig in April, on St. George's Day. I asked the girl about it, and she remembered me. I didn't necessarily remember her, but I remembered there were two girls there, and one of them asked to take a picture of us, the drummers. I also go my picture taken with Flat Stanley at Prairie Fest, but that's another story....
