Cortland Celtic Festival (New York State)

Just got the official word from the wife - I'll be there. She's going to visit her friend and turn me loose at the festival.

Well, I went. I probably won't return. There were two clan tents and a few vendors, only one of which had anything worthwhile. I had a nice chat with Anne, who owns The Harp & Dragon shop.

Sorry, Barb, I missed the opening, and your band's performance. I saw a few of your bandmates around, but none looked like your picture, so I didn't appproach them. There was a young piper named Nick who did a very nice solo performance after the caber toss.

The athletics were enjoyable. I understand this was the first year they had them. That should improve with time.

I really enjoyed The Peelers. They put on a great show in the pub. I'm somewhat ashamed to say I did not stick around for Gaelic Storm and Enter the Haggis, despite having paid the admission.
