Here's something you might find interesting, it's a qoute from Wikipedia.

"Outside of New York City, one of the largest Tartan Day celebrations in the United States takes place each year on the weekend closest to April 6 on the banks of the Missouri river in St. Charles, Mo. The Missouri Tartan Day Festival began in April of 2000, after successful lobbying at the State Capital in Jefferson City, members of the St. Andrew and Celtic Societies of St. Louis, Kansas City, Jefferson City and Springfield, MO, gathered on the steps of the State Capitol Bldg. in Jefferson City to receive the first proclamation of Tartan Day in Missouri. This was for the year 2000 only.

In 2001 we were successful in having Governor Holden proclaim that April 6, 2001 and every April 6 thereafter to be Tartan Day in Missouri."
