Panache, WalkerK, and MacMillan's Son (showed this pic in another thread too)

My Wife and I:

A closeup of that fabulous tweed jacket (oh, yeah...and Brooke's lovely lady friend. I know...you didn't even see the jacket, did you?)

That's all folks...enjoy!

While we're there, here is one of Connie's son Daelin, a stylish lad in his own right!

Here are a few of the pipe bands in thier competition performances:

Sacramento City Pipe Band

MacIntosh (I think)

Bushmill's Irish Whiskey Band

Sacramento Firefighter Band

I bet we could cover all of these guys from the waist up and still be able to pick out the Xmarker!

Massed bands on the march

This park has some huge beautiful sycamore trees in it. Some, like this one, requires them to use 4" square posts (center of photo) to support the long thick branches.

It was a very nice event, in a lovely venue, with good friends to share it with. I look forward to next year. Now its on to Pleasanton in two weeks!

Thats all for me!

You're right - Ancient Hunting Mackintosh by House of Edgar if I'm not mistaken. Your kilt and jacket look fantastic. Thanks to all for sharing your pictures; it's good to see so many familiar faces.

Don't forget there were some U.S. Navy tartans as well.

Super pictures and nice to see some old friends there and to be able to put a name or two to faces.

Thanks for the pics, looks like a fun event! Just a bit too far for Bob and me under current circumstances but maybe in the future. . .

BTW, in re:
