    Kincardine and Embro

    Two sets of games coming up in Ontario this holiday weekend.
    Embro just south of Stratford...a single day event... the main feature is the tug of war. This happens on July 1st. It is also Embro's garage sale day so it will be very busy in that Hamlet.
    Kincardine is a blast! http://www.kincardinescottishfestival.ca/
    It's right downtown in a park overlooking Lake Huron. The whole town gets behind this event. The month prior to the games, they have tartan Friday and you must have a piece of tartan or you will be fined a loonie.
    Every Saturday night the main street is closed for a parade of townsfolk and pipers. At Sunset every evening there is a piper playing at the lighthouse.
    The games will be on Friday, June 30 Sat July 1 Sunday July 2nd of this week.
    There is also the British Car show as well
    If you're heading to Kincardine drop by and see me in my booth...well I should be there

    Cheers
    Robert

    Robert, wish I could make it, looks like a great time! Got my SIL (sister in law) coming into town this weekend, though.

    Although, maybe that is a good reason for a road trip. How far is it from Chicago??

    Unfortunately, my universe is not multi-dimensional and I can only be in one place at a time. My wife and I decided that Embro would fit into our holiday weekend plans this year. Kincardine is a fun event though. Best of luck with your mobile kiltshop!
