A scaled down Celtic Fest this year due to city budget woes. That meant no highland games competition or border collie exhibitions, but there were some great bands, pipe bands, and dancing (Irish, Scots, Welsh and Breton). A Hay was there from Garmisch, Germany and Farlander was in town from California. Auld Argonian, Brewboy and McFarkus from the Chicago Rabble. (The fact that it was Mother's Day weekend cut down on attendance).

Saturday was cold, breezy and overcast, but Sunday was a wonderful, sunny day.
