Edinboro Highland Games
Got back from Edinboro, PA's 14th annual Highland Games & Scottish Festival a couple of hours ago. It's a small event - highland atheltics on the lower atheltic fields, rugby on the upper athletic fields, solo bagpipe and band competitions, dancing, half a dozen clan booths, wool-weaving, some highland cattle and horses - that takes place on the campus of Edinboro Univeristy of Pennsylvania.
The highpoint of the festival, at least for my oldest brother and myself, was master Scottish fiddler Alastair Fraser. For an hour and a half we (and a large crowd of other folk) listened to him play solo and with the violinists of the Chelsea House Orchestra.
Other things - met Mexpiper in the parking lot on the way out.
Saw what might have been a black hemp RKilt in passing, but I was too busy listening to Alastair Fraser to go check.
Definitely saw a guy with his kilt on inside-out (sorry, no pics).
Got my other brother to wear a kilt in public for the first time.
Pics will be posted once I get back to NY and high-speed internet.
