I won;t be there as Saturday is my mother's birthday amd I have to help clean up after the Prom that night.

The Barclay tent is always a good place to hang out. HeathBar has been a very gracious host to the Rabble in the past.

Sorry but I won't be there this year. And actually the year that I was at Gatlinburg, was the only year I set up. The games organizers didn't really seem to care whether we were there or not. Maybe with the new group and location things will be different.

Excited to see the games @ my alma mater Seems like such a happy marriage between the games and the location, since Maryville College's mascot is "the fighting Scots"!!!

Here's hoping the weather blows fair for all attending.

Well, if you're not going, I won't either!

I'll also be wearing my latest purchase, my gray Ryan Ross bonnet with a yellow "dandelion" behind a small Wallace clan badge so I hope to meet rabble who are there Sat.

The weather forecast looks real good for Sat.

I don't have to work on Sat, so I plan to be there. I'll have my family, Clan Wallace kilt on this year, not my "Claus of the North Pole" kilt that I wore last year. I'll sure miss Santa Kona, Kathi and the other Clan Claus Society kinsman who were there last year.

I will be falling in as a drum major for the ceremonies on Saturday. I will stop by the STM tent and say high at some point during the day. Is there a meet up scheduled ?

We'll be looking forward to seeing you, Ben, and any of the rabble that come by.

We'll probably not get there until around 10:00, as we'll have a three hour drive ahead of us, but we'll be there for most of the fun.

I have no idea where our tent will be, but you're all welcome to meet there!

Here is a link to the Smoky Mountain Games: http://www.knoxivi.com/smoky_mountain_highland_games which were broadcast live over the internet. I am the drum major in the khaki doublet in the opening ceremonies bit. It was too hot to wear #1 uniform. When Lord Hugh said it was too hot to be out there, he was not kidding. Maryville is a great venue and I am looking forward to returning next year with the Atholl Highlanders of Stone Mountain.
