Daniel, I'm sorry I wasn't out there with you when that went down, brother! I was orchestrating intense, clandestine sporran negotiations at the museum (not kidding), right when that happened. Abigail looked out the window, saw the world blow by, and said: "Ryan, there's stuff blowing all over the place! We need to get out there!!!", at which point we both ran full tilt (kilt?) down Main Street and got in on the action. At any rate, there's another view of the same occurance:

Wow, on second thought kind of glad I missed it. That storm looked kind of nasty there for a second.

It's always nice to see other's photos of the event, as well. (So feel free to add your own, those who were there!)

As a Life Member of the Clan Wallace Society, it was my pleasure to represent Clan Wallace in the parade

I had a good time in Franklin Fri & Sat at Taste of Scotland. I met Ryan and Abigal Fri afternoon at the museum and Fri night I was called up at the ceilidh to model my recently received (2 months ago) Ryan Ross Highland Bonnet to promote sales of the raffle tickets.

During the opening ceremonies, I heard "Santa bells" approaching. It wasn't Santa, but it was 3 folks from the "Sticks in the Mudd" group arriving. Eight folks who wear straps of bells on their lower legs and jackets covered with strips of multi-colored cloth. They perform unusual routines dancing with sticks to their group music. It was the first time for me to witness the unusual and interesting group. They have FUN.

I was down in the Tartan Museum when the winds hit, it was all over when I came back up from the lower level and saw the tents and chairs were all removed. Fortunately the wind didn't hit till most of the events had concluded.

I left some of my money in the Tartan Museum gift shop.

The Mrs. and I had just left when all of this fun started happening, and I had left my camera on the kitchen counter, so there are no pictures from me.

We handled it and were fine... the tent that flips up is the tent that flipped up and landed on me. I'm the second person yelling "Get out of the way" in the first video for further clarification for others.
