2014 St. Louis Scottish Highland Games and Cultural Festival in Forest Park

Me and my family will be coming and I've easily convinced my Grandmother to come as well. She is very knowledgeable about our ancestry and I don't think she is 100% behind the kilt yet but we shall see! We will try to get there at the latest by 1:30 pm (haven't decided for sure which day yet but probably the 26th) but probably earlier but I've got to give Grandma some leeway. I will be wearing my Chattan kilt, a harris tweed braemar (if its cool enough, if not a green waistcoat and a dress shirt) a harris tweed bucket/trilby/fedora hat, ghillie brogues purchased from member Norbo, and my "Rob Roy" sporran. Slainte!

Sounds wonderful, mate! Just a reminder, the games doesn't officially begin until 5pm on Friday, September 26, and then continues all day on Saturday, September 27 with the gates opening at 8:45am and the closing ceremonies at 6pm. The games is only scheduled for Friday and Saturday. So far the weather looks quite nice. A high of 79 degrees F, low humidity, sunny skies, and a slight breeze. So, I think you'll be able to get away with tweed. You can always remove your jacket if you become too warm.

See you there!

Sadly, I am not going to make it after all. I have taken ill and it's unlikely that I will be better before the weekend.

Best regards to the Rabble.

Sorry to hear that, mate. I wish you a speedy recovery!

Here's a little guy to cheer you up. Get well soon. Sip some tea, fluff your pillow and crawl under a warm blanket with a book beside you for when you feel better.

I had a good time, unfortunately I missed seeing the quaich and there was no clan chattan tent but overall it was great.

We missed you, mate! And unfortunately, the quaich was not present. I'm happy you had a wonderful time.

Unfortunately, family members not into Scottish heritage tend to plan weddings without looking at the games schedule, and too far awa'. Will miss you guys.

I was wondering why I did not see you or your lovely Mrs at the games this year. We missed you all.
