So glad to hear about the transplant. Please give her my best and assure her that I look forward to seeing her . . . and you.

I will be there (and dragging my sweet husband along too- he doesn't get out much and doesn't know what to expect)... I'm extremely excited, this will be my first Highland Games!! I look forward to it immensely and I know I will feel welcomed and at home with fellow Scots/ descendants. I've planned this trip since May and I've still got work to do to get our 1740s Highland outfits presentable!!

We are coming in sometime Friday, driving from Jacksonville AL (Google maps tells me just over 2 hrs drive). I'm not sure what time we'll be getting in. We are staying at Stone Mountain Inn Friday and Saturday nights and will definitely be at the games all of Sat & Sun, planning on meeting up at the Scottish Tartans Museum tent to meet some of you in person! I hope we will get to hang out at the tavern as well.

Did I mention I'm excited?!?!!

Fantastic news, praise God!

In case any of you veteran SMHG attendees would like to know, I just noticed on the website that the front gate has been moved. Don't know how much difference this actually makes as I've never been, but I thought it might be useful knowledge.

I have tickets for the SMHG for sale - guests from out of town will not be able to make it down. I've posted in the "for sale" section of the site but thought it would be a good idea to put a pointer here, as well.

I'll be able to use them. I'll see you at the Tavern. One each day for me, Sunday for my other half you've met,
the other for a friend who's never been.

Thank you Sir! I replied on the other thread. I've found someone who took the Sunday tickets, and I have the two for Saturday remaining. I don't plan to come out to the Tavern, but if you'll PM your address I can mail the tickets to you and we can settle up when next we meet - at the games or on Burn's night.

Now that we're getting into the home stretch, I thought I'd bump it up a bit to make sure everyone interested in the games knows what to do and knows about our unofficial meet up on Friday evening at the Tavern.

I do hope everyone who can will make it to Conyers for a very laid back opportunity to meet folks face-to-face with time to visit.
