Somebody please take a camera and get a few pictures of this event. Pictures of the Frugal Corner, Stillwater Kilts and Celtic Croft booths would be nice.

Walked out of the house this morning at 5:45 and left the camera sitting in the kitchen counter. It was a great event. Made some new friends and had some fun. The kids are the most fun though. The girls from Bent Needle Design had an excellent wedding display with one of their hand made dresses. The do fantastic work and would recommend them to anybody looking for a dress or scottish dancer wear. Laura and Sammi are both a riot to talk to. The Author of the Scottish love stories (not Romance-I was corrected) was next to us and a very fine lady. We traded her a Minnesota State tartan Shawl for a signed book for my wife.
Next year we are going to have some smaller size kilts waist. More 26, 28, 30 sizes and we are going to get two spaces.
We had one elderly gentleman that was wearing his kilt with his Navy petty Officer 1st class shirt, (It looked pretty sharp), the white dress one. Of course me being a Marine, I had to harrass him but then gave him a great deal on a rabbit fur sporran because he did not have one.
There was a vendor behind us selling lemon chicken sandwiches and pork chop sandwiches-They were GREAT.
Saw one Marine wearing the Leather Neck Tartan, I wish i had worn mine but , After gaining (a few Pounds) it is a little tight.
We are talking about doing the event in Wisconsin the end of April.
Anyway..after standing up all day.. I must get to bed.
