2011 Rio Grande Valley Celtic Festival & Highland Games

Rob: I bitterly regret not being able to attend my 1st RGVCF & HG. (They need to find a shorter name with a better acronym.) ;)

I was looking forward to meeting you and seeing Kathy. In a phone conversation earlier in the month I told her that I planned to attend.

But, as the Immortal Bard (Robert Burns anyway) wrote, "The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men Gang aft agley,".

We had been in Florida for three weeks and returned just before the games. I was buried under a veritable pile of obligations that took me some days to settle. I woke up Saturday morning and suddenly remembered.

Oh, well. There's always next year.

Agreed!

Oh, well. There's always next year.

I'm already planning for it !

That is a very nice venue Rob. I attended the Balloon Fiesta a few years ago and was quite impressed!

Unfortunate about the drop in attendance at your recent event though, hopefully just a short term reflection of the economy, and not a drop in local enthusiasm.

I completely agree with you on Kathy's kilt making skills, I have two of her creations, one in a custom run of Hunting Weathered and another in H.O.E Hunting Modern, and couldn't be more pleased.

If I make it back your way this Fall I'll be sure to look you up!

Best regards,
Brooke
