And guess what I found toward the end of Saturday? On a used rack for a mere $50!!

Oh, nice! I am the jealous! What tartan is that?

That is a wonderful find! What a bargain!

Worth the gate fee and travel to land that lovely tartan dress.

I was actually at the festival on Sunday, but wasn't a member of the forum then, and wouldn't have known who to look for.

Next year.

And some year I'm gonna make your Prescott games.

This year's Prescott games were surprisingly good, for such a small town. Unfortunately, next summer I'll probably be back in Tucson, and I don't know that I'll want to drive four hours for a games event, even if it is a good one.

I had a great time, as usual, at the Flagstaff Celtic Festival this year!

I could've done without the hail, but it was refreshing experiencing rain, again.

I can't believe we had so many XMTS members up there & we didn't get a group photo. Maybe next time we should exchange cell phone #s so we can call each other & arrange a meeting. At least I didn't miss Ron this year & I kept running into Darren regularly (hope those bruises have gone away!).

Maybe next year I'll meet Ialtog & Scratchy & his Lass & Mr MacDougall.

For next year, come up with an XTMS armband, or ribbon to wear as a way of quickly identifying the members...

This year was the X Marks kilt pin and advance notice of the kilts we planned to wear.

I thought the Mesa games went well when we had a rendezvous point and time.

This year was the X Marks kilt pin

Which is all well and good if you have an X Marks kilt pin. The good part about using a ribbon is that it's cheap, easy, and can be displayed prominently, whereas walking around looking for kilt pins can be more difficult, and looking for a specific tartan is also iffy, especially if the tartan is really popular.
