Northern Arizona Celtic Festival

[Azrobert]

The very best Highland/Celtic Festival in Arizona will be held this year July 16 and 17. The location is Flagstaff's Foxglenn Park. The organizers are the Northern Arizona Celtic Heritage Society and more information can be seen at their website. Search NACHS.
I highly recommend it. I will be manning the Clan MacKenzie pavilion, so stop by and say hello. Failte!

I was at the Games and the United States School of Piping & Drumming in 2008. Forecast looks great for Sat and Sun, at least temp wise--highs of 79 and 80, respectively

I know, it should be amazing. I don't know if I am more excited for the festival or weather!

Regrets, a week from Hell at detox and have a doc trip to the oncologist next week in Flagstaff and two trips in a week is just a bit much for this olde geezer and his olde ride.

Of course, by not going this will probably be the first year its not hammered with thunderboomers. My gift to you guys.
