Moderators, couldn't find a section that accommodates this post, so please move as required.

Wife and I went to the Columbus, IN Scottish Festival and all in all was a good time.

Admission price was same as last year, plenty of food vendors, plenty of 'celtic' vendors (everything is celtic nowadays, not scottish in a scottish festival, oh well), euro cars, dogs/sheep, etc.

There was something that both my wife and I did not appreciate (and by talking to a few other visitors, we were not the only ones) was the fact that they had WWII reenactors.

Sure, there were some Black Watch guys in very nice WWII BW garb...but right next to them was a group of nazi reenactors (german heer, SS and I believe at least one LW dude).

We really can not understand what the idea was to have these folks at a scottish festival....it was bad enough to have to wait in line for fish/chips right behind what looked like a lord of the rings ork....and 3 female elves (complete with pointy ears and 1 winged)...and then there's nazi dudes walking around with their mausers and their cammo gear...uncalled for.

Emails and letters will be forthcoming to the committee for next year.

Weather was perfect this year, and based on what the announcer was detailing, one highland athlete was 3 inches short of a new World Record for the 16 pound Braemar stone at 62' 11" (according to the announcer, the WR is 63' 2")
