Denver Tartan Day

[Livingston]

Here we have the guard going around having the taverns close up shop and send out the troops to head back



Not sure if they could handle rowdy drunks....

Wonderful Pictures!

I especially like this one

It gives one a great appreaciation into what went into making tartan for some many years!

Cheers

The Colorado Youth Pipe Band was there. They were in Glasgow about a year ago for a world wide competition and came in 10th.

[Livingston]

We also had the Northern Colorado Fife and Drum Corps there.

[Livingston]

The third pipe band was the City of Denver Pipes and Drums





They have their own dancers who were also there.

[Livingston]

It was then time for the massed bands, ok, it wasn't THAT much of a mass but ....

[Livingston]

And of course, they finished off with Amazing Grace started by a lone piper.

Permission to leave the field?



Granted...

And of course, the picture of the XMarks members there.



Cerebite in his Colorado Tartan, Nitehawk and his son, me in the Livingston Tartan, KiltedCampbell in the Black Watch and mudd in Black Stewart. Where did Aspen d'Grey sneak off to???

[Livingston]

KiltedCampbell, my wife and I went in for the buffett and ceilidh. We had an enjoyable time sitting and talking during dinner and afterwards. We ended up talking with a couple there that were part of the planning committee for Colorado Tartan Day. He is also a past member of XMarks but hasn't been on the board for a couple years, wish I could remember his name. They both thanked us, as members of X Marks the Scot, for being there and supporting the Colorado Tartan Day Celebration. They are looking for a new location for next year since they have outgrown Hyland Hills Golf & Entertainment Complex. I must say that for a small gathering, there were a lot of people there. It was good to see.

On that note, see you there next year.
