What a great day we all had in Kansas City at the Tartan Day celebration!

The venue was EH Yourg Park in Riverside Mo. This is also where the Kansas City Highland Games will be held in June. The Tartan Day celebration was cosponsored by the Highland Games and the Kansas City Saint Andrew Society

The day started out chilly, I was glad I brought a jacket during the flag raising


and the parade of clans


After the flags, the festivities were kicked off by Glenfinnan, a local Celtic rock/folk band


There were demonstrations of Highland Dancing - from wee ones (I think she was about 6 or 7):


Up to quite grown up lasses:


The men also got into demonstrating:

(I wasn't about to tell this guy that his shirt and kilt clashed!)


(sorry for the quality on this one, I had to photoshop it quite a bit - I couldn't get very close and forgot to use the zoom on my camera.)

There was also a demonstration/lecture on historic weapons, but my camera battery died right about then.

But the BEST part of the day is in the next part..........
