My first highland event

[vipermcgee]

I finally had the opportunity to attend my first Highland event, Clanjamfrey in Memphis, TN. I had no idea what I had been missing! The booths were informative, the vendors extremely unique, the food.... It was an inspiring experience. I wore my phillabeg (Crawford modern, of course), black Jacobite shirt, and black hose.

Clan Crawford was not represented, but I did get to hang out with our cousins, Clan Wallace, and even helped a little with their tent.

I didn't manage to get any pictures of myself, but here are the pictures and all that I took with my iPhone! Next time I'll try to remember to carry one of our digital cameras so you can see better pictures.


I was about 2 hours early, so I got to "help" with setting up some of the clan tents!


I was trying to get a photo of the clan tents, not the young man on the right making his adjustment.


Another shot of the clan tents. The guy with Clan Maxwell stepped in just before I took the shot!


Mostly shot for Clan Wallace. I had the pleasure of hanging out with them and learning much about Clan Wallace and my own Clan Crawford!



This is a picture of the official pipe band of Clanjamfry. I cannot remember the band's actual name. They were my second favorite part of the festival!

Here is a link to the video I took of the parade at the beginning of the opening ceremony.

I didn't knowingly meet any Xmarkers there.


Guys, sorry for the size of these pics. I uploaded them directly to photobucket from my iPhone and have no idea how to adjust the size.
