    Wisconsin Highland Games

    I will be there as well. As will WARPIPER. Even though he doesn't come here very often anymore. :P

    You'll notice me right away in my improbably vivid Armstrong modern acrylic 5-yard that looks as though someone emptied a whole can of starch on it. :P

    I won’t be hard to spot, either, as I’m 6’6” tall and will probably be wearing a lovat green Argyll with my Ancient MacKenzie kilt. 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    I'll be there as well, spending most of my time in the civic center building.

    Will you be in a particular booth or area within the building?

    I'll look you up!

    I'll be one of the vendors in the building (ID withheld to avoid conflict of interest). Just look for an older bearded bloke in a Mackenzie. Do I detect a theme here?

    Looks like I'll now be attending the opening ceremonies on Friday, August 31 in addition to spending the day at the Games on Saturday, September 1.

    According to the website, Friday evening includes the usual opening speeches, a torchlight procession, the gathering of the clans, and a ceilidh. I understand from a friend that the food is pretty good, too!

    Sounds like Imbrius, Warpiper, and MNLad might be there. Anyone else from the Great Rabble of X-Marks?

    Friday or Saturday

    In all honesty, I'd love to go both Friday and Saturday. I really want to see the opening ceremonies and procession. But I also want to shop the vendors. The question is whether or not my wife will want to drive to Waukesha (19 miles for us) two days in a row. :/
