Longs Peak Scottish/Irish Festival

Weather.com is what I look at before heading up and usually gets fairly close but it's for Ft Collins so if you drop the temp between 5 + 15 degrees you'll be close. Be prepared for rain. The way things have been this month it will be very possible. If it does snow, it should melt off by noon.

Just one week away! I was talking to my friends last night about Saturday. Looks like we'll be heading up for the parade in the morning, then wandering around most of the day. We have to head down to Denver in the evening for a show, load in is at 8PM, so I'll miss the evening concerts at the Fest. But I WILL be meeting up with ya'll at the beer tent at noon! I'm so danged excited to meet up with some of the Rabble!

Well, I'm still planning on Sunday, but I'm going to try to make it on Saturday too. Hopefully things will work out.

Sadly, working that weekend, and no way out of it. We are thinking about Friday, but just don't know if it would be worth it to drive all that way and have to leave by 5 to make it back home by 8pm. Livingston, you will be there Fri?

I bought my tickets last night. I'm there Saturday, and if there are any tickets left for the Saturday evening rock concert, I'll be there, as well.

Since I don't get off work until 6 pm now, we won't be there much befor 9 pm.

Since I work at the games, I am usually able to get tickets to something for Sat evening. I don't know what they will be until I get up there since Dad picks them up on Friday. I'm hoping for the Celtic Rock Concert (a small group will be there known as Brother.....

...oh yeah, and Albannach will be there too

)

Hello all,

I will be there as well. My wife and I have been attending the highland games for many many years now. It falls near our anniversary so we just incorporate it into our plans. This will be only my second year wearing a kilt though. We will be arriving Thursday to attend the Tattoo and leaving Sunday morning. I can't wait! The weather is looking like it will be on the cool side which is OK by me....
