Thanks for ALL the responses! We just got back from the Bitterroot Scottish Irish Festival in Hamilton, Montana. It isn't one of the biggies, but has a nice mix of clans and vendors with athletic competition, pipe bands and singles and dancing, spread around the grounds, so lots to see from everywhere.

My favorite part is that it is held on the gounds of the Daly Mansion, Marcus Daly's home (he was an Irishman the was part of the Butte copper mining in it's early years) and is privately owned, rather than a county fairground, city park etc. What this means is that the Beer, Scotch and Mead is NOT confined to the designated spots, but all are allowed to freely roam the grounds with the libation of their choice. The only place it's not allowed is for vendors, while in their booth...but there are no liquor police roaming the grounds.

Anyway, it is a great games and lots of fun. Thanks again for all the responses.
