    Just met Mr. Hayes at the booth.
    Those of you in the area we should try and meet at 2:00PM for a photo op.
    cheers

    I had fun at the games again this year. It was very nice to meet you Crash, and I'm sorry Robert that I only had the time for a passing wave. I hope you both enjoyed the games.

    Despite the spotty weather, there seemed to be many more people there then last year.
    Until next time,
    Sara

    This was my second visit to the games. Met up with Robert & placed an order for a Military Green Festival Kilt, now the waiting game starts. Loved the massed bands that played at 1:00. Looking forward to next year & hopefully meeting other members.

    Mrs.Crash and I had a great two days in Maxville. We met Mr. and Mrs. Hayes. That was a treat. I met up with Nathan for a while and I finally got to meet SIWC Sarah.
    This is a pretty cool community. Last but not least I got to hang out with Canuck. I hope I didn't take up too much of Robert's time. The solo's on Friday were great for this beginning piper to watch and the band competitions on Saturday were just great. I think I'll see if there are any more pipe band competitions that I can make it to this year. Unfortunately working the weekend of Fergus.

    Just got back from the Glengarry Highland Games yesterday afternoon.
    Wife and I had a great time and we met some very nice people.

    Here is a photo of myself, Robert of RKilts, and Crash, outside Robert's Vendor tent.




    We had several opportunities to chat throughout the two days of the games.
    I'm sorry I didn't get to meet some of the other folks who attended, particularly Sheep in Wolf's Clothing, whom I made a belt pouch for several years ago!

    Here is a picture from Saturday. I'm wearing my Maple Leaf Tartan box pleated kilt from Matt Newsome and a Maple Leaf Sporran I made for myself. Plus my souvenir baseball cap that I got in Ottawa.


    Glengarry Highland Games is billed as the largest assembly of pipe bands in North America and it was certainly impressive to see 55 bands with 1472 pipers and drummers gathered together at the closing ceremony on Saturday afternoon. This picture does not begin to do justice to the scene.


    This was our first visit to Canada, and with the warm welcome we received from all the people there, I'm sure it will not be the last.

    Regards,
    Tom

    In the first photo I'm 6' tall and the short guy in the group. I know we'll see Robert again soon and I hope we see Tom and Mrs.Hay again soon.

    Sorry I missed seeing/finding/meeting everyone that was there. Was a bit of a busy weekend. I tried but can't find myself out in the field in the last photo. I'm somewhere in the middle of it all ;)

    Another time and another games, I'm sure I'll starting meeting some of you! At least the weather was good for Maxville this year!

    Now I'm a little extra sorry we didn't meet as I'm a beginning piper and I always enjoy talking with experienced pipers. Maybe next time.
