    Sunday June 1 The Lamont's in the Pacific NW held a 5K kilted walk through downtown Tacoma WA. 25 people were led by two pipers the entire route and two more pipers joined us at the end to pipe us back to the Pub.

    Over $800 was raised for the restoration of the Kilfinan church vault in Scotland
    THANK YOU to all who contributed,


    The organizers of the walk
    Don Moore, George Young, & Robert Lamb



    Our two pipers who led us the entire route



    along the route



    in front of the Tacoma convention center



    the final section with pipers bringing us home

    one of the pipers was too young and the other doesn't drink so they got a free supper. But yes if they did we would have.

    Kyle, next time... one of the walkers suggested another this fall in Seattle... who knows we might do another yet this year. It will be a while before the project is paid off.

    See you soon Kyle, several event coming soon
