Celtic Fest Chicago Pics

[Tartan Shortbread Jock]

Hello McFarkus, great pictures from Chicago. Nice tribute to the people who lost their
lives at the Twin Towers Galician. Very nice indeed.

As I was only at Celtic Fest a few minutes on Saturday, my pictures are from Sunday.

Here are Auld Argonian in Robertson ancient hunting muted, myself (Brewboy) in my Wallace, McFarkus in his Irish Saffron, and Galician in his Maple Leaf:


Here is the same group with some random piper at the left hand side and Galician's friend, and now ours, Stephen on the far right:


Myself and Megan, we decided to match:


Auld Argonian decides to get some pictures of his own:


We found something amusing...but I'm not sure what:


The ren fair crowd poses with Auld Argonian's daughter:


That's all I got. I know there are others with pictures. I hope to see them.

Thanks for the pictures. I plan to settle in SW Michigan in about 3 years so you may see me there sometime.

Y'all look good.

Thanks, Rob for adding your pictures. My only complaint is there are not enough of Megan.

In looking at the group photo I realize that Stephen makes the rest of us look really short.

Great thanks for sharing them.

Here are my pics of my event:

The view as I approached the city


Here I am standing over the river which gets turned green for St. Patrick's Day


JRB requested a better view of the New York City tartan I was wearing that day.
It was a gift of the Scottish Weavers Association to the City after 9/11, and has two black,
parallel stripes as a memento of the WTC. It was my first kilt and I wear it with pride,
both as a WTC survivor and in honor of the three members of my extended family who
were lost there that day.

At the park, we ran into the big Mexican Independence Day parade


Despite earlier weather forecasts, the day turned out bright and sunny!

David, thanks so much for adding your pictures. As a New Yorker, your pictures add a dimension that we natives don't have. We take a lot of the city for granted.
