Well it was a terrific day. Before even getting to the gate, a guy I had never seen said "I didn't get the memo".

"What memo was that"? I asked

"The one that said to wear your kilt to the fair", he replied with a smile. My kids got a big kick out of it, and we had a very nice conversation about the fair.

I had my picture taken several times. Twice by nice folks who asked, and several "clandestine" attempts, which I found most amusing.

It was a great day, and there were in fact at least three other men in kilts at the fair today, figure an average day of 100,000 people, and you get the picture about how many kilties there are in the cornpatch. Not enough !

It did lead to several very enjoyable conversations with people I did not know until today, and I was glad I went. May have to do it again next week one day.

One of the other guys I saw was wearing a black watch Sportkilt that was much nicer than I expected it to be. I may have to take another look at them.
