Glasgow Highland Games - Kentucky

[Good Egg]

I would love to attend but I'm on the wrong side of the pond. I visited Kentucky in 2002 and stayed in the Mammoth Caves Park. Which is quite close to Glasgow. Fantastic place if you are in that area go.

One small (no actually huge) problem with the place is that its in a dry county. 'Conspiracy 'tween the preachers 'n the moonshiners' I was informed by an old boy running a ferry.

I do hope Glasgow is not dry - or your games will be sadly lacking.

I love America, I love the go ahead attitude, the American way, the American dream, home of the free, get what you work for; but dry counties, in some things you are still... well backwards.

The county that produces Jack Daniels whiskey is a dry county. They are not allowed to sell their own product in the gift shop.

I'm really not sure of the "dry" status of Glasgow, KY. But I doubt that will stop those determined to bring a wee flask of their favorite. I'm actually glad alcohol is not sold at these games. There are vendors that sell cheap swords and other pointy things. When alcohol and cheap, sharp, pointy things mix, someone usually shouts "Hey y'all, watch this...." and then the ambulance arrives a bit later.

I've been to Lynchberg. If you are in that neck of the woods its also worth a visit. They serve a very fine home made lemonade.

There's a long road from the I whatever to the distillery. We got stuck behind a real old banger being driven by an old boy in baseball cap, T-shirt and dungarees. Full gun rack on the back. He had a bumper sticker which read "COON HUNTERS FOR CHRIST".

I've seen 'Southern Comfort' - 'Now, if I was you all, I'd quit askin' questions and haul ***... 'cause my buddies... dey not nice like me.

"Hey y'all, watch this...." .

A true hillbilly's famous last words.
