    Chicago Area Highland Games

    ...did I mention that they're taking place June 15 and 16?

    ...did I mention that Enter The Haggis is the featured act this year?

    And I will take advantage of mentioning that it may behoove those of you who are planning to attend and are not members of the Illinois Saint Andrews Society that you should keep an eye on the local papers this week to see if the ISAS once again makes their advert for the games a coupon for a few bob off the price of admission.

    At the fabulous Oak Brook Polo Grounds! No foolin'...they actually have a polo pitch (or field or track or whatever you call it....I'm way too working class to worry about polo!) in Oak Brook. It's west of Chicago straight out on 22 Street.

    Why? You planning on being in town around then? Let me know so I can get a bigger sporran flask...

    Sorry, it's not currently in my plans. My son may get there, though.
