Not much music and the ground was very muddy, but we had a good time walking around and shopping like NORMAL people!

I have NEVER been NORMAL!

I hope we can meet up in Bethlehem.

didn't get there till quite late Sunday, bah humbug.

Was totally surpised by the paucity of non-pipe band kilted people. Is this normal?

I was there Sat night. The only other people in kilts, were the Clan Scott representative and one of the members of the Hooligans. And of course myself!

Yeah... I noticed how FEW people (outside of the pipe bands) were in kilts. Kelly and I were considering being vendors there next year, but may have to rethink that. The crowds were smaller than expected, the 'regular bands' (not pipe bands) were nothing great and the vendors we spoke to weren't happy. May have to just stick to Celtic Classic.

Phew, it wasn't just me!
I thought it was my being late to the party, but there were definitely fewer people than the last time I went. Considering the glorious conditions on Sunday, I was amazed.
wonder if I can convince family to go to Bethlehem after all.....
