) and would love to participate in the "global kilt night".

Wouldn't be any worse than some of our members that regularly wear their kilts on motercycles

As far as how many are going, hard to say right now but there are about 15 kilties in the area. Just depends on who has time and who sees this before then. Unfortuantly, I'll be out of town that day but will be around for the regular kilt night on the 2nd Saturday of November.

Who was the Einstein that planned a kilt night on the weekend before a major party holiday? My kids are having a party that night, as well as several of my friends and cowerkers.

from right down the I. We Pueblo, The Springs and Monument now represented, it looks like we might be able to start talking some of the Denverites down here for a change.

I'd happily head up to Springs anytime, I'm there every couple weeks anyway

Wow! I didn't see your name. I was too busy sulking about not being able to participate... Welcome!

I don't know WHO originally came up with this brilliant date, but sounds like nobody is going to be able to make it...

Thanks for the welcome. We are a bit late at tracing down our heritage, I'm 45 and my wife.....younger than I.

There have always been rumors about Douglas in my family, but it took our first visit to the Estes Park Highland festival this year to light the fire.
Now both my wife and I have both found our roots back to Scotland. What a noble and proud people!
I think we are driving our daughters nuts with our newly found passion and continual Celtic music in the house. Alex Beaton is fantastic!
My wife is even drinking Guinness now along with Coors Light!
Thanks again and hopefully we can meet and I can learn more from you folks.

Next year stop and say "Hi" I work the piping competition over at the Southeast end of the grounds on Sat afternoon and Sun morning.

Alex is good but I really enjoy Seamus Kennedy and Oceans Apart. Albannach, the celtic rock band that was at the big tent between the rodeo arena and the main grounds, is also good. If I read the web site correctly, it looks like they will be there again next year.

Now we need to get you two over to Single Malts
