Hi Jeremy, was by your area for the Ohio Games a few weeks ago. Spent 4 years living in Toledo so have made many trips from Pittsburgh thru Ohio over the years. Used to attend the annual Pro Bowlers tour event in Akron when I was a bit younger.

In Pittsburgh, kilted Scots are greatly outnumbered by the drinkin' Irish crowd in town. Let me know if you ever come to the area again.

Glad to hear from you. The Rock -- very nice part of the state. Have been there a couple of times when my daughter was considering going to school there.

Will you be attending the Niagara Celtic Festival in September? Will be there for the weekend.

I will not be attending as I have family in town that weekend. I am going to try and catch the Celtic Fest in Bethlehem, PA the following weekend though.

Passing on the Celtic Classic this year. Did it last year but schedule is pretty full between now and then. Think that will be a much needed weekend at home. Hope you can make it to Bethlehem and have an enjoyable weekend there.
