    Okay, now that I have your attention
    I'm sure MacHummel, Canuck, Kilted Stuart, and McMurdo will have more to add later, as they're spending the weekend up in Fergus, but I was only up there today, so I'll start the photos.

    Pete (MacHummel) had his booth right by the entrance again this year, so I'll start with him.
    Dave (Kilted Stuart), Pete, and Crystal the happy lurker (that was Crystal, wasn't it):


    Sandy (Mrs. MacHummel) and Soraya (Wee MacHummel) stopped by later (far left):


    And a close-up of Pete's kilt-pin - a maple leaf on Mossy Oak:


    More to come ...

    Just back for Fergus myself. I'm not sure if this was the hottest one but I am sure it was the busiest. There seemed to be more vendors, and better ones, and a higher attendance.

    I can confirm sightings of McMurdo, sockless but I recognized the beard, and Grant. Unfortunately, it wasn't much more than a handshake since I was on a search and destroy mission for the men's washroom, right now.

    I was able to say hello to MacHummel and Kilted Stuart since they were in their booth. I had a chat with R-Kilt later in the day and it sounds like a successful day for him. (The black Hemp kilt was cheaper than I thought, hmmm.)

    The maroon sporran was for photographical purposes and was returned to Robert. The black leather however...
    Stay tuned for a review of a black leather rkilt on another thread. Right now I have to rest and get rid of the detox shakes. For those of you wondering, no they will not tattoo obnoxious drunks but Robert will sell them a kilt!

    After a small nap, quietened down kids and copious amounts of coffee I am recovered enough for pictures and reports. After noticing what section wompet posted this thread I checked my camera and this is all I found. It is shortly after I arrived;

    McMurdo in his new XMarks CCK:

    After this point my camera was put away as I became a fall down drunk which would have caused my kilt pictures would have become up-kilt pictures! None of us would have wanted that *shudders*.

    That's the most dressed down that I've ever seen Glen! His new kilt looks great and looks like you guys are having a great time. Wish I could've been there. Will you at least hoist a dram for me while you're there?
