Pleasanton California Highland Games
Highlanders to your Stations!
the 141st Caledonian Club of San Francisco Gathering and Games to be held this Saturday and Sunday, September 2nd and 3rd, from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton California.
This will only be the second Highland Games I have ever attended, but I have been told this is quite a Large Games ( the biggest in Northern California)
More information is to be had here:

Sunday! Sunday! Domingo!
We'll be there on Sunday. It will probably be hot as blazes (the usual for Pleasantom), so t-shirt and boots will be my uniform of the day.
In years past there's always been plenty to see and buy. Hope Monkey@Arms has a brown UK Workman's waiting for me there. Will look for everyone at the Clan McNaughton tents. Anyone know if we can bring our own beer in?

I went to these games a couple years ago when I was living San Jose. I've heard they're the biggest in the world... I wouldn't doubt it. Just wait and see.

Ray,
Sorry we will miss you. You should see if you can make it to one of the Bay Area Kilt Nights at the Devil's Canyon Brewery.
Cheers

Alas Kent there were no brown UK's in 40 in the inventory they shipped us (None in my size either.) Hope everyone will drop in on the Utilikilt tent and say Hi on Sunday. I'll be wearing my new Olive UK Original model. We are located right next to a beer vendor toward the far end of the clan area.
Speaking of which, I had the great pleasure to meet Bunchdescendant today. He was wearing a very fine looking leather sporran that he had made himself, right down to the leather tassels. I was quite impressed!
Best regards,
