Sorry, I spent yesterday getting the truck unpacked, not much computer time.
Saturday had pleasant temps but cloudy, with the usual squalls interspersed with dry weather typical Siouxland weekend, which does not faze the patrons. They were there in droves. Even the outside stages were standing room only. I missed the Cirque d' Sewer again..Rats! I saw Tink numerous times.
Queen Elizabeth and her court were numerous and well dressed; something I love to see.
It was a gorgeous day until about 4pm on Sunday, the rain held off until about 30 minutes before closing gate-Great for the patrons, but the tents (and ourselves) got wet. However, we won best Clan tent. (huzzah).
The professional scored part of the Celtic Games were held on Saturday (yes, it was a real meet with scoring to move up in the National brackets) and though you could watch the athletes, the competition was not open to public participation. They had good crowds for the Caber and hammer throw, and the cheering was noisy.
The amateur 'Gauntlet' was held Sunday, and served double duty, in that the regional heavy games Athletic assn, was also recruiting new athletes and members. One of the Queen's Guards was granted permission to try the gauntlet. It was a bit much for him ^_^.
