Right now, they're calling for partly cloudy and 75 degree high (No Rain)
It won't rain, because I put my order in for "no rain on the 12th of May" a few months back. I'm tight with the big guy. HAHAHA
We WILL be having a kilt night AFTER the evening concert. We'll empty out of the theatre and head down the block to the Columbia Bar and Grill (next to Iron Hill) as soon as the concert is over. That should start around 11 and last til close at 2 AM.

Just got back from the festival and the concert .... all I can say is "Hats Off" to Rocky and Kelly. It was a fantastic turnout, wonderful weather, lots of kilts, super entertainment during the day and great vendors as well. From what we saw and heard, there were literally several thousand people in attendance throughout the day.
The concert was tremendous! The crowd was very diverse, but completely into the music, and you would be hard pressed to find an empty seat in the place. Enter The Haggis was suburb and full of energy doing lots of new songs, and lots of old favorites.
As for Albannach - UNBELIEVABLE SHOW!!!! You can not get the true impact of this band from a CD or Video. Please do yourself a favor and go see them. It is so worth it.
Thanks again Rocky, you did a fabulous job pulling that off. We had a great time. I can't wait for next year .... are the tickets on sale yet?

My wife and I went up to the festival yesterday, and we had a great time. For the first year of an event, I thought it was fantastic. I can't imagine how much work Rocky and Kelly put in to it...you two should be proud.
I'll second the praise for Albannach... Excellent!
I'm glad someone will be posting pictures, as I forgot to bring a camera.

A few pictures that my sister-in-law took.

This theater may look familiar - It is where the movie "The Blob" was filmed.

Ah well, you've beaten me to the picture of the theater - but here are the rest!
First, you must realize Phoenixville seems to be one of those "old small towns" that make up so much of America - but get so little attention.

There was a nice assortment of vendors and street entertainment in addition to the evening's shows at the Colonial.
The schedule for the street stages:

And one of the more popular vendors (although no one seemed to be lacking for customers):

USA Kilts
AND of course, what trip to Phoenixville would be complete without a trip into USA Kilts.
I was given the rare opportunity to capture an image of Rocky and the "mystery woman" (who made me swear to protect her identity - apparently she fears losing her super mini-kilt making powers should her identity be revealed)!
