In sum, the family had a great day. It was a much larger event than I anticipated, some 7,000 to 9,000 people. Lots of vendors, lots of food. Fantastic weather--high of 78, light wind of 5 to 10 mph. We couldn't have had more fun, and can't wait for next year!
Cheers!
"Before two notes of the theme were played, Colin knew it was Patrick Mor MacCrimmon's 'Lament for the Children'...Sad seven times--ah, Patrick MacCrimmon of the seven dead sons....'It's a hard tune, that', said old Angus. Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world." Butcher's Broom, by Neil Gunn, 1994 Walker & Co, NY, p. 397-8.
