The Texas Scottish Festival - June 5-7

One last push for this weekend's Arlington Big Event!!! I can hardly wait!

I'll be there on Saturday during the afternoon. I expect to attend the NTCPD's performance at 1:00 and maybe the Celtic harp performance at 2:00. Apart from that I don't have any other plans, except run around taking pictures.

Rahr & Sons will be there and i was hit up by one of their guys to lend him a kilt. What is funny about this request is this same guy gave me the hardest time when I first started going to the Flying Saucer in Fort Worth. Now he has to come to me to get a kilt...Karma.

Looking forward to seein everybody.

Just wanted to mention that George Straight is opening the new Cowboys stadium on Saturday so it might be a good idea to avoid I30 and the stadium area in general.

I'll be in my Seaforth kilt with a lovely lady at my side holding the cutest sheltie on a leash.

I will be there Sat. Roaming the grounds in my Saffron kilt.. I know where to find a couple of you, but what about the rest?

**Wolfhawk** · 5th June 09, 12:46 PM

I will be there in a Texas Blue Bonnet Tartan, Grey kilt hose (I think) or Full-size Boots, Khaki bonnet and unknown shirt. Glasses and beard.

Picture to help identify me.

My son has soccer games tonight and Saturday morning, but I'll be there that afternoon until close. I'll be in my Matheson Red kilt, straw panama hat, I don't know what shirt yet but I'll be wearing black kilt hose w/Red Matheson flashes.

My daughter graduates from High School on Saturday, so maybe I will hit the festival on Sunday Morning (God forgive me) and beat the heat. Will bring my canine son Sammy - Laird of the Westies, so he can stand head and shoulders above the other Westies. (he's a biggun, but not a fattun)

Hope I see some of you.
CHeers, ColMac

I normally wear plain colored t-shirts, but to maximize visibility tomorrow I shall be wearing this one:

So, if you see someone wearing it around tomorrow, there's a reasonably good chance it's me. If not, well....

Did anyone here see Chad Granderson(?) setting all the toss records in the athletic events? I saw him break the two hammer field records and it sounded as if they were not his first two of the day. 133 ft. on the 16 lb. hammer and 103 on the heavy hammer. It was pretty impressive.

Sorry I didn't get to see people out there. I was trying to think of something to use to set myself apart as an X-marker but didn't have anything. Hope everyone had fun.
