Houston Highland Games 2010
May 15-16 We attended the 39th Annual Houston Highland Games and Celtic Festival. It was as usual a nice event. There were some challenges this year, mostly the bucketing rain Friday night and most of Saturday. The event is held at the Houston Farm & Ranch Club which has almost 90,000 square feet under cover, so most outdoor events including the solo piping, pipe bands, and heavy athletics where moved inside! Made for an interesting day...
On to the photos....
An ROTC Color Guard leads the opening parade.
Here's Triolamj and I carrying the Irish American Heritage Assoc. banner. to the far left is Jack Daw with Clan MacIntyre.
Holding my end up.
A couple shots of the massed bands, clans, and groups forming up. This is in the 'smaller side' of the arena, so you can get an idea of the size of the facility.
There was a wedding right after the opening ceremony. I missed it, but I got this shot of one of the wedding party.
A couple of the bands,

Teribus.
I couldn't figure out a good way to phrase "Hey, move out of the way so I can put a picture of your pretty daughter on the interweb", so here's a nice group shot!
