Celtic Fest Chicago 2010

[McFarkus]

A scaled down Celtic Fest this year due to city budget woes. That meant no highland games competition or border collie exhibitions, but there were some great bands, pipe bands, and dancing (Irish, Scots, Welsh and Breton). A Hay was there from Garmisch, Germany and Farlander was in town from California. Auld Argonian, Brewboy and McFarkus from the Chicago Rabble. (The fact that it was Mother's Day weekend cut down on attendance).

Saturday was cold, breezy and overcast, but Sunday was a wonderful, sunny day.

Look at that, perhaps I really was there?

Thanks McFarkus for showing me around!

[McFarkus]

It was a pleasure, Michael. Have a safe trip back to CA.

Looks like you all had a great time.

I wanted to be there on Sunday as well, but with the mother in town, I bent to her will without question. That's the problem with Mother's day, she thinks it's all about her.

Fabulous pics. I always enjoy these kilted rabble pics which match face to the usernames. Tom (A_Hay) sure gets around, it seems only a few weeks since he was right here beside me at my computer desk here in Scotland!

How inconsiderate of her! ;D Doesn't she know that every day is all about kilts?
