Hoffman Estates Celtic Festival, March 19

Here are pics from the event, I had a great time... As did my boy! Shame his kilt is too big yet, or he would have been kilted too, he even asked me "daddy, I want to wear a kilt too!"

A big thanks has to go out to mayor McLeod for putting on this event, every year it gets bigger and better!!!

Forgot to synchronize my watch and therefore missed the photo op with Hizzoner. What an extremely well-done event, with something for everyone! The musical and dance entertainment in particular was absolutely fabulous. And the corned beef sandwiches were the real deal. Can't wait to do this next year!

We've been meeting monthly for a few good months.

Looking mighty sharp, gents, especially you, GrainReaper--that new jacket really, really turned out fantastic--easily one of the best conversions I've ever seen.

Such a fun event, and great to see everybody. Any plans for April?

The fam and I had a great time at the fest. It's great to see so many people out. As it was great to see the Chicago xmarkers looking top notch. As for April we have to do something for national tartan day. It's a must for me.
