Salado Highland Gathering

It's a shame that they always seem to schedule this for the same weekend as the Highland Fling weekend at the Texas Renaissance Festival. So we have to choose between one or the other. Last year we went to the Salado games. This year, we're going to go to the TRF. Hope y'all have fun, though!

Yeah, had that problem when I lived in Houston. Now that we are in Waco, and I am the convener, we go to Salado.

We'll be there!

Yeah it's too bad, because Salado is a really nice event. But I'll be at the Highland Fling / Zardoz' Birthday weekend at Texas Ren Fest this year also.

Salado Highland Games
This looks like fun...
If I can get off work .... I'll be there.

Where's a good place to stay around there?

Glad you can make it Merlin.
There are 4 hotels in Salado: Holiday Inn Express, Best Western, Super 8 and Stagecoach Inn. I know that Stagecoach is full during the gathering, but have no idea about the others.
If nothing in Salado is open, then Belton is only about 10 miles away, and there are a lot of hotels there.
As to what is good, I don't know. I live about 40 miles from Salado, so I just drive each day.

There are also some nice B&Bs in the area as well. We usually stay at the Rose Mansion... Do a Google search for Salado B&Bs and you'll definitely hit some interesting places.

See you there!
