I didn't research too hard, but here are a few places to check out for you....hope it helps. I spent a week in Tulsa last spring, and really found it to be uh..... nevermind, I was always taught that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all..... Good luck!!

i've already checked out these web sites (went to the sept scottish festival. it looks big on the web site, but really very small). the problem is few events and none really close. i'm trying to create more, not just make do with what is. my wife and i go in historically correct attire from 400 years ago, as close as possible anyway. we are trying to arouse interest in what the scottish culture is and how it got that way.

It should work, but my first question is why wait, how cold is it there? I'm still kilting everyday, and I am in Canada, where it does get cold. I say go for it strap on your kilt and get out there.

it's not the cold really. it's that there would be no people at the park. rain, snow and cold means they don't stop there. we want them to stop and visit. i tell stories with my best scottish and play a chanter very badly. if no one is stopping there's nothing to do and no stories to tell.

thanks for all the responses. some good ideas here. when we finally get er done i'll try to post pictures.

That explains it, but in the mean time wear it out anyway, you never know. I find just me walking into the coffee shop in the morning can strike up a conversation. It seems everywhere I go people have to tell me about their heritage, these encounters have most times been the highlight of my day.

A few weeks ago I was at the CN Tower in my kilt, on the sky pod the worlds highest man made observation deck, met a man and woman from Scotland, the man was from Coatbridge, the same small town where my Mom was born.
