Meadows Highland Games & Celtic Festival 2009 Pix

I was eliminated early from the competition, as the ladies told me it was the Bonnie Knees Contest not Boney!

Here are some pix of the other contestants.

We had our meet up of XMarkers after the Barley Juice performance. Those guys know how to put on a show!



The first official photo of XMarkers.

Jerry showed up so we then had our second official photo.

There’s not many of us, so I was really pleased to have this MacCallum lass, Sharla to come calling. She was very happy to learn of our Clan history. She is planning to join us for Alexandria Scottish Christmas Walk.

Sir William who was convening his Elliot tent next to mine gave me the storm warning that a front was approaching. We had enough time to get the tables cleared before the torrents came!


The bands massed and then the closing ceremonies were called off, much to the chagrin of some of the band members who had already become quite soaked.

Jerry of the House Gordon embraced (literally)the muddy pathways and performed kilted belly mud slides.

The rain didn’t bother this couple. Jim told them I would take their pix and an email it to them. I told them, I would be glad to take the pix, and in giving them my card with the XMarks URL told them to download it from here. Perhaps we’ll get a newbie!



Come back for tomorrow’s activities. Yes, MoR it will be a sunny day!

Aside from the downpour, it looks like a good time was had by all. Well, perhaps even with the downpour. Thanks for sharing!
