Here's a group shot taken at the Salado Games this past weekend:

L to R: ShaunMaxwell, bdkilted, Chewse, kscaddo, super8mm, cck and Tobus. Also present but not pictured were eagle43172 (good to see you out and about!), medic78, and rumor has it that ragged tiger was also spotted.



Saturday was nice apart from the gale force winds, but I was surprised to see that all but eight of the clans and two of the vendors had vacated by the time I arrived a bit after noon on Sunday. It seemed a total bust with very few patrons apart from the pipe bands who were competing. Disappointing that so many pulled out early. I'm sure the food vendors didn't fare well and that will make them less likely to want to come back next year, plus I'd imagine that the organizers took it on the chin at the gate as well.

The new location was convenient to our hotel, but seemed unnecessarily spread out. I'm kind of hoping they'll move the event back to its former location next year.

It was nice to see you all there and have the chance to visit with you.

Cheers,

SM
