Kilts & Bagpipes: Loch Norman Highland Games

[Hibernian]

It's cold, gray, and the local faire doesn't open for months and you need a fix! How about some great music, beer, food, bagpipes, fiddles, dancing, and a great family atmosphere.

Hey time to put on the kilt and head to Rural Hill for the Loch Norman Highland Games.
April 17, 18, & 19, 2009

Clan M'Crack will be in the house on Saturday, April 18th. If you don't see the saffron kilts near rhe beer vendors then check out the Clan McBubba tent.

[Lady Mikayla of Phoenicia]

I really wish the family gathering at GARF were not planned for the same weekend.   

[Hibernian]

I agree, but for some reason the Georgia people were reluctant to postpone their faire that weekend. 

[Lady Mikayla of Phoenicia]

I wanna go to BOTH!!!  ponders cloning herself... hmmmm...

[Hibernian]

Oh Lord! We need to put an end to cloning right now, I'm not sure the world is ready for two of her! 

[Lady Mikayla of Phoenicia]

LOL!!!  That's great although I thynk myne Pyrate would disagree with ya!  He'd take one 'ome wit him he would.   

[Chuck'n M'Crack]

Myself and Pin'n plan on going to The Highland Games, and yea the saffron kilts be many and the lasses too.

[Malkavian]

This is definitely worth attending...

[mehan]

Ewan and I will be there also.... bring on the kilts and logs......with sweet bagpipe music filling the air!

[Hibernian]

Thats great!

I know Jim (High'n) and Pam (Pretty'n) will be there both days. As it stands now Mary Lou (Heal'n) and I should be there both days as well. The kids are another matter depending upon work and sports schedules.

M'Crack gentlemen, if possible, should be kilted. Ladies as always will do as they please.

[Pinn]

What would you like for us to wear??

[Lord Caleb]

What would you like for us to wear??

Well, if "I" were in charge of it...

[Pinn]

I think I heard a Mouse squeaking somewhere didn't you

[Feline Groovy]

*perks ears up*  Mouse?  Pounce?

[Hibernian]

While normally...no hold that thought...there are very few things normal when the Clan M'Crack is involved.

The gentlemen of the clan normally wear kilts and are in the minority. The Loch Norman Games are one of those rare places where no one blinks at a guy in a kilt. For once the kilts are in the majority. Except our saffron kilts stand out amongst all the Scots! So for the fellas, of course its kilt time.

Now some ladies at the games do wear historical garb, some do don the clan colors in various ways, but most wear whatever is comfortable. Its not a renn faire although you will see renn garb. Check the weather and see what is appropriate. You'll find a M'Crack shirt and a pair of jeans will work fine.
