Weather wasn't as bad as predicted...
Fortunately, the weatherman was wrong about Saturday.
It was cloudy and threatening in the morning, but the rain missed the event site entirely. By the afternoon, it was sunny and warm, but with a breeze.
Given the forecast for Saturday night and Sunday morning, I opted to tear down Saturday evening around 8 p.m. It stormed late Saturday night and even hailed a bit, but it was all over and sunny by the time the games opened at 11 a.m. on Sunday.
We had a late breakfast and attended the event as "spectators" on Sunday, departing around 3 p.m. I wore my Wellies in anticipation of very muddy conditions, but they turned out to be unnecessary, as the muddiest areas had been covered over with straw and gravel.
Several clans did not appear, likely owing to the weather forecast, but I was pleasantly surprised at the strong public turnout both days for the event. It seemed well organized, especially given the weather challenges, with more clans and vendors than in previous years. Way to go, SAHGA!
I missed seeing the usual cast of XMarkers, but hope to see you all again at another event soon!
