The 4th anual Elizabeth Celtic Festival

[Nighthawk]

Onto Sunday. Sunday was a little busier. We had a few more people, so it was nice. We all did our thing, watched the games, listening to the bands. Our lead swordsman picked a fight with the lead swordsman for the Vikings. That was vicious... They are both world class martial artists, so it was fun watching them going at it with sword and shield. On one side of the field, you had the Ren Scots, and on the other, the Vikings, both groups yelling insults at each other as our champions fought. What fun that was! So- Photobucket is still uploading the pictures. Those will be posted shortly- I hope.

Photobucket was being stupid. I had to give up and upload to MySpace... which sadly worked better. So- here are the first:



We'll start with the weavers:

Darla and her work:

This is the American Heritage tartan in progress:



All of the thread used to make the tartan in these photos is spun and dyed by Darla, and woven by her husband Mark:









And Mark hard at work with Darla's yarn:

The father whippin' the son!





One old fat man you do not want to pick a fight with!





Garion. He was sick- really sick- for a while. It's great to have him back with us!

Chief of the Clan, and the chief of the Wolves. Those fights get ugly!

It takes Garion and Brian both to take Dr. Dave:
