I didn't see the STM tent, kept searching for it and didn't find it so I also didn't see Ryan Ross.

Chainsaw02 spotted me and my yellow "dandelion" in the audience in the entertainment tent and introduced himself. Enjoyed the ballads of Colin Grant-Adams.

Bought an embroidered "Wallace" shirt from X Marker, Mark R in his vendor tent, "ATS Apparel". Other purchases, an X Marks the Scot T-Shirt, a Wallace sash with rosette for my misses of nearly 46 years and of course couldn't leave without kettle korn.

Saw Drum Major Atlanta Kiltie with the massed bands and had a brief conversation with him afterwards as he was packing up.

Had a good day, arrived about 9:30 and set up my chair at mid-field, perfect viewing for the athletic events on that field, the sheepdogs and the massed bands right in front of me.
Abigail and I were so sorry to have missed you! I heard you were there on Saturday, but didn't have much time to venture from our tent! But aye, we packed up and went back to Franklin on Saturday evening, so that we would not have to expend funds on lodging for the night.

I'm so glad that you're enjoying your bonnet, and Abigail and I look forward to catching you at another event this season, hopefully.
