This past weekend, April 1 - 3, the San Antonio Highland Games and Celtic Music Festival was conducted at the Helotes Fair Grounds just northwest of San Antonio.

Friday evening was the Tartan Day commemoration at the Alamo, and the games began in earnest on Saturday morning.

The San Antonio Games place an emphasis on athletics, and there were some great competitors, and lots of good photo opportunities... Here are a couple of images:







There was music of all types...





... including Seven Nations!



And the obligatory family photos...

My girls, Molly and Kim:

The festival was, I think, a great success with relatively mild weather and a large crowd.

I especially enjoyed the chance to visit with Toby, Steve and Tony, and was only sorry that we weren't able to hang out a bit longer.

Cheers,
