We didn't get to see all who said would be there. But we caught a few XMTS folks.

I'm sorry that I didn't see the other Xmarks guys. Did you guys make it to the Faire?
It was my first time to the Faire and had I known we could have used a specific location as meeting place, like the Deer sculpture right behind us.

You sure are quick getting the pictures online. I had a blast at the faire, kept going back and forth over the hill to hear Albannach and The Rogues. No rain but HOT!!!
Hope to see everyone again, soon. Celtic festivals in Furnace Town and Annapolis are next month. Hope to make one of them.

I was going as fast as I could to get from opposite side to the white Hart Tavern after Albannach's show.As fast as you can go in 90 something degrees with what felt like the same in humidity while wearing a tank. Looked for the dandelion or an X-marks pin but no luck.

How I could have ever missed such a distinguished looking group (and pretty Lass) is beyond me. I blame the heat. Or it could be my ADD when it comes to Celtic music. For those not there The Rogues went on at 1pm at the Tavern.

Yes, the statue would have worked I was on the other side of the Tavern. Ah well, there's always next time.

There was lots more going on I'm just the worst at remembering to take a picture.

Couple of Pics from the day:

Albannach

The Chesapeake Caledonian Pipe Band

Awards ceremony for the caber toss.

The big guy on the left of the picture is a very old friend of mine Don. Getting 3rd place medal in the novice class. He was ducking out of his bartender job at one of the many taverns in order to compete. Throw go back to work run back throw and so on.
