Once again, it's time for the Kentucky Scottish Weekend.

When: Saturday, May 14 only. Gates open at 8 AM. Events run to 8PM.

Where: General Butler State Park, Carrollton, KY. Exit I-71 at Carrollton and go north about 1 mile. Park is on the left. (You can also find the location on the XMarks map).

Entertainers: Alex Beaton, Mother Grove, and Seven Nations.

Other events: Scottish Country Dance (exhibition), British Car Show, Highland Dance competition, Border Collies exhibition.

Opening ceremonies with massed bands around noon.


I'll be there acting as Pipe Major for the Louisville Pipe Band in the grade 5 (beginner) band competition that afternoon. (I'm actually Pipe Sergeant, but our PM is also a university professor, and they have commencement that day.) The LPB is pictured on the competitions page of the KSW website (tiny photo, but that's us about 5 or 6 years ago).
