April 6, US National Tartan Day

**MGMorrison** · 20th March 16, 04:02 PM

I'll be wearing the Morrison ancient red. ( pics to follow). Will you be kilted? As stated here- " no pics, it didn't happen". Perhaps a good day to kilt up and put up some photos.
By the way- off topic, but many thanks to OC Richard for his many posted historical photos.

I don't have to work that day, so my wife and I will probably be running errands and we will be wearing matching Kerr Modern tartans

Tartan Day this year marks one year since I first met up with some of the Chicago rabble. We have gotten together often since and I feel lucky that I've happened upon such cool people.

The Phoenix Highland Games were held this weekend and the Governor made a proclamation...Whereas 6 April is also the official Arizona Tartan day and exhorted all those of Scots decent to wear their family/clan Tartan or the Az State if not so affiliated.

BTW, there are some very professional women athletes in that Prof. world championship category.

Thanks!

I have a personal issue in that is my wife's birthday!

I work at Disneyland, which has all sorts of "days" of various sorts: Dapper Day, Red Shirt Day, Potter Day, May The Fourth (Be With You), Bats Day, and so on.

These are grassroots things devised and implemented by Guests and have no official standing with Disneyland.

I'd love to get Kilt Day started, perhaps on the nearest Sunday to April 6 (the various "days" are on weekends, except of course May The Fourth) or perhaps on Tartan Day itself (which would of necessity limit participation). Well, the only way to get it going is to get the word out and do it!

Minnesota Scots are making it a week-long festival starting with a cultural day called the Scottish Ramble April 2 in St. Paul. That event is followed by whisky tastings April 5 & 7, pub sings, a Celtic rock concert April 8, and pipe band concert April 9. Coordinating all the separate events is the Scottish American Center. Here's a link for anyone interested: http://www.minnesotascots.org.

Not working, possibly helping a friend move, either way way I will probably be kilted. I considered taking a motorcycle road trip to meet the Chicago rabble in the evening but the weather is uncooperative.
