So the Celtic is pretty family friendly? I'll have my 10 y-o daughter with me...

Hope I can make it! I've not met any of my fellow X-markers in person before (excepting Matt Newsome, my kilt maker).

Cheers,
Wesley

If you come early, there will very likely be other kids around, and we always have kids at our Burns Suppers. It IS a bar as well as restaurant--so there will be some drinking going on--but it's pretty family freindly. And especially early in the evening, there won't be anything out of the way. Your daughter will likely enjoy the ice cream shop across the street.

Hope you can make it.

Well, interesting twists in my professional career have changed my path this year so that I can unexpectedly attend the Stone Mountain Games again, having missed the last couple. I have not had time yet to read this whole thread for full depth information but will later today. Wife and The Boy will be joining me and we will be staying at the Evergreen Marriott arriving Friday mid-day and leaving Sunday morning. Will anticipate attending the Friday gathering at the Celtic and look forward to meeting some of the rabble there for the first time. Family friendly is good news.

My brother Harry and I will be attending again this year. We will be at the Kennedy tent or out and about. If you see us please stop and say hello.

Jeff, please do make it to the Celtic. Of course, we can all see each other at the games, but it is just so much more friendly at the Tavern.

The Sponsored & Distinguished Guests Reception says "by invitation only".
Does that mean that if we are not hosting a tent, we cannot go to party?

Anyone arriving earlier than Friday?

My wife and I will be there and will arrive on Wed. afternoon and stay in the campground. This will be our 8th year and always have a great time. We will be at the Clan Maclaine of Lochbuie tent and will look forward to having a meetup with the Xmarks on Sat. Let me know when and where please. Keeo looking for the dandilion!
