Kerr County Celtic Festival & Hill Country Highland Games - August 15th (Ingram, TX)

[Fireboykirk]

Hello rabble! I'm excited to see that this has made it to to forum. This is my festival! I use the loosely because I am far from being the one to do everything, but I'll claim them.

We have had a "Highland games" demo for a couple of years in Kerrville with a pretty good turn out of athletes. It was held in conjunction with another activity and so received little press. I wanted to change that. So we have been working with Point Theatre, the Scottish Games League (SGL), and some other local groups to move it to the grounds of the Hill Country Arts Foundation and make it a separate festival.

Currently we have a full games scheduled with all of the events. We are filling slots with entertainment for the weekend and finding instructors for the pipes and drums. We have decided to use the weekend as a clinic type of event instead of competition for pipes and drums. We will have the Viking Invasion, stone masons, weavers, and various Clan tents. There will be a Cèilidh on Saturday evening at the Inn of the Hills(pot luck and probably low key), but a very strong probability of a Kilt Night at a local drinkery in Kerrville. More on that to be posted later.

We are in the infancy of this event and looking forward to support from friends and fellow kilt wearers. If you have thoughts, or a skill, or a talent you want to contribute or see please let me know. Vendor and merchant sponsor sites are available as well. Hope to see one and all. Please feel free to message me or email.
