Is anyone going to the Longs Peak Scottish-Irish Highland Festival in Estes Park, CO Sept 4th-7th?

I am including this on my trip to see family that live north of the Red River, looks like it is a good festival to attend

I'm not going this year, but I went 4 straight years a few seasons ago. It is well worth attending. Be attentive to the weather forecast, and if you are not used to high elevations, then hydrate with plenty of water first (before the beer) as you may experience an unusually strong thirst the first day.

Thanks Jack, I will be camping at Mary's Lake.

I always have plenty of water.

if there are several of us there maybe we can get a group picture?

do they have a "Calling of The Clans" type of event sometime during the event?

The best part of this festival is the main street parade by Clan lots of folks come to watch. It cost a little more than I expected $25.00 per day. Yes they also have the gathering of the clans.

My favourite competition. You can count on seeing me!

I'll be in Estes Saturday, but won't attend the games until I compete with the lightweights on Sunday. We usually catch a 1 hour break around noon, but not much chance to get away during the rest of the day. Stop by the athletic field and heckle me--I'll be the little guy in the purple kilt.
