51st Annual Scottish Gathering and Highland Games Salado, TX

[super8mm]

well it is about time for the 51st Annual Scottish Gathering and Highland Games in Salado, TX. This will be November 9th, 10th, and 11th

Who all might be going?

I already have my camp site reserved at the lake outside of town

[ShaunMaxwell]

We'll be there, as usual. Note that the location of the games has changed this year. Instead of downtown at the Civic Center, the games will be at a sports complex behind the Holiday Inn on the outskirts of Salado (Exit 286 off of I-35).

Apparently, the City of Salado decided that they wanted a cut of the vendor's take. The organizer's disagreed and moved the games outside the city limit! That'll teach 'em!

See you there.

so the food, venders and games will not be in the same area as the clan tents?

[ShaunMaxwell]

The vendors and concessionaires go with the games... My point was that the whole shebang will be in a new location this year.

[super8mm]

Oh ok, I have the museum marked as my end point on my GPS.

that is closer to my camp sight anyway "S""

We'll be there too. Heard about the move and warned the president of museum society that many of the women appreciated the real bathrooms at the civic center. Last I heard he was going to try to get the keys to restrooms at the sports complex instead of just port-a-johns.
Maybe I'll save some money since my wife can't just walk out to the shopping

[ShaunMaxwell]

Come on, BD... You know that Salado is tiny. Rest assured she'll find her way to the shops!

[super8mm]

I can give her a ride back to town on my motorcycle.

I can see now I need to practice my monkey - football routine so I can get my ridding gear on over my kilt for my trip to the Calling of the Clans Friday evening and the Tattoo and Tartan Ceilidh Saturday evening.

I take it that the Tattoo and Tartan Ceilidh will be one after the other Saturday evening, this will be my first trip to Salado ??

[cck]

It is on my schedule, but will have to wait to see which day(s) I can go.

I've paid the fee for the Cameron tent space, so I will be there both days. I hope we're able to do a picture.
