I'm glad you brought it up. I am hoping to make it this year. I had planned to go last year, but my mother died a week before the event, and a Highland Games was the last thing on my mind. Hopefully this year my wife and I will have nothing else going on. We heard that last year's event was so busy and overwhelming that they ran out of tickets and vendors were sold out of virtually everything. Sounds like it was an amazing turnout, and hopefully this year they will be better prepared.

(And let's hope, too, that the weather isn't brutally hot!)
