    It seems to me that our best chance at a good turnout would be to have it in the summer.

    poor underaged kilties

    Im with whoever suggested holding the event in canada for the underaged crowd who would hate to be left out of all the fun at the pubs! Other than that, I agree with the Chicago votes. Chicago is in the center of the U.S. and would be distance wise, the most fair for the U.S members. Just my opinion. I voted for chicago.

    Actually, We discussed bi-annual weekends to include one year in North America and one year in the UK, so if and when this ever takes off, the next poll will probably reflect the best location on your side of the pond.

    Great Pics Pour1malt...You are definitely one of the kilted spokesman.

    Happy Holidays,

    Yeah, I like that idea; maybe in a couple of years the U.S. dollar will recover against the pound & euro...

    My $0.02 worth (£0.009799), Chicago - central location in North America, major transportation hub, plenty of accomodations, good mass transit, great food, large Celtic community, lively music scene, major arts & cultural center, local Highland Games (20-21 June 2008)

    I say FL besides the fact that I am in FL we have the best weather, and beaches, it is cheap in the summer if you wanted to do it then or it would be nice and warm in the winter it is 78 today and was never less than 72 all week. Sorry midwest guys in the snow
    I know there are a lot of us down south so we would have a good turn out I would think

    And didn't all the wild highland fling dancing start when some Scottish explorer wandering around Florida got a mosquito up his kilt??
