    Hoffman Estates IL Celtic Fest April 29

    Yesterday I recieved an email message from the mayors office in Hoffman Estates IL, last year several of the Chicago rabble and I attended, and must have made an impression because they want to try and host a kilt contest and needed ideas, I agreed to help them out with some ideas, my suggestion was to hold a knobby knees contest because everyone can get in on the fun, and then perhaps a best dressed THCD, and modern kilt contest. I need suggestions on fleshing this out.

    Lastly, I'm calling on all the Chicago rabble to turn out for the free event, hopefully enter a contest, and have a good time!

    Even without a competition, we rocked it last year. Let's do this.

    How about ladies tartan contest?

    Or non-kilted contest like a haggis toss?

    Who would be the judges for the kilt contests? Would we pick a random panel or go by audience applause?

    Edit: Going to need an MC, too.
