Celtic Festival and Highland Games I

Today was the annual Celtic Festival and Highland Games. It was a blustery day, but no rain, thank goodness. Many of the clans had booths. There were also various other vendors as well as food vendors. My favorite was a booth called The Holy Grill...which sold Holy Grail sandwiches of some sort. People in kilts were everywhere, as was the sound of bagpipes. There was judging of bagpipe playing, so it seemed like every nook and cranny had a piper practicing. One was even playing in front of the woodwright shop, using the windows as a mirror to check how he looked.

After the judging, 5 bagpipe bands marched in together to officially open the event.






After the bands marched off the field, the clans lined up to enter the field.
