The Minnesota Highland Games
And we did give away a Rabbit Fur Sporran with belt to the lucky lady who came up and said "SEMPER FI", She was even nice enough to let her man select the one he wanted and he was very thankful also.
Wow were we ever busy, as Fedgunner mentioned. And thank you for noting our friendlyness... we came to sell things but wanted to have a good time doing it.
One Funny story - While we were getting ready to pack up a gentleman and his wife came walking by..him in his kilt with no shoes or hose.. I jokingly said to him.."and this is why Scotsmen don't gamble, your lucky you didn't lose your kilt too"
They stopped to talk and I told him I had a pair of hose for him. He told me that he didn't have any money on him (a true Scot that). I said no, I am not trying to sell them to you I will give them to you. So as I am digging out the hose we had packed up, his wife noticed we had some Minnesota State Tartan Shawls still sitting on the table along with a few other things. She started shopping and those free pair of hose cost him almost $100. She said as they were getting ready to leave, "see, your nice to my husband and you make a sale."
I gave him another pair of hose before he left. I just hope he stays away from the card table...
