29th Annual Celtic Classic Highland Games & Festival, Bethlehem, PA
The 2016 Celtic Classic in historic downtown Bethlehem, PA is now over and was a great success. The weather was perfect, the competitions were exciting, the entertainment was great and the beer was cold. There a lot of people in attendance on Saturday when my wife and I attended but, this venue handles large crowds well. Each year that we attend this event, we like it more. Though I had my X Marks dandelion in my lapel, the only other XMTS I met was Rocky at the USA Kilts booth (and boy, was he busy).
Here are a few pictures!
        
Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle.

A few more photos from the 29th Annual Celtic Classic in Bethlehem, PA
OK, here are a few more photos from this years Celtic Classic in Bethlehem, PA. Note Rocky's USA Kilts booth is well guarded including a Kilted Kop. Also included are some shots of the 100 year old Worcester Kiltie Pipe Band which won the Grade 3 Pipe and Drum band competition. After the awards ceremony, they gave an amazing impromptu concert in the street.
     
A couple of other odds and ends!

First Time
It was my first time attending the Celtic Classic, and was there Sat/Sun. Clearly, it's a much loved and well-attended community event. I was also finally able to "meet the makers" of two-thirds of my kilts (USAKilts of course).
