Its the 9th of May this year. So who's all interested in going? I'll be there for at least part of the day as I will probably have to work and time off requests thru the end of May are full.
Going to do my best to get it off of work. :)
I'll be there, Planning to volunteer cooking Meat pies again this year. Hope to see you.
We're planning on going. We volunteer at the Living Green Expo every year and it is the weekend before, so we are free on the weekend of the Scottish Fair.
Anybody have a link to this event?
http://www.mnscottishfair.org/
We'll probably be there one way or another, but not as merchants.
Thank you!
Yes, this is the event I thought it was, I just wasn't sure. I hope the weather is fine for all the kilt clad chaps. Not too windy and all. :o

Hooray Wind!! ;D or wait.. No.. What MG said.. ;)
Jason and will be there! Maybe I can get him to wear a kilt too :)

Get in line lady!!! :D :-*
Holy weedpuller! I just realized VV will be home for this event AND he has a kilt!
*MG starts twirling around, hands waving in the air*
wind dance
Avalon and I should be able to go to this. Assuming I have extra cash...
Who is going? Anyone want to carpool to save money and gas?? I'm in Robbinsdale and have a car seat but I can fit a couple more in my Kia. Did I mention saving money...I like that very much.
I'll be there volunteering, not sure at what yet thought, will have to wait and see what direction Liz points me when I get there...
We will be there. ;D You think Muffin would miss a day of kilts. :o ;)
@ Capt_B
Are you going to be there all day? I'd really REALLY like to carpool with someone even if I drive. Think of the environment....and my checking account balance.
We're not going to make it, I forgot that it conflicts with a reenactment event in Chippewa Falls we're trying this weekend.
I think we'll be going . . . not sure when though.
Whoops! We're out. We'll be lounging by the pool at the Venetian in Las Vegas this weekend. No kilts, but is should be fantastic anyway! ;D
OK so for those who are going are we going to do like last year when the meet up was at 10 near the pub tent?
I'll be going but helping Fest Friends.
I too shall be there...volunteering. I look forward to seeing many old and new friends.
I'll be at the pub at 10... ;)
Wonder what time my boyfriend plays..... hmmmmm must find schedule..... and renew efforts with the wind dance...... :-*
Thought I was going to this but George's sister had the audacity to be born that day and now I will be at her party.

According to the website they play at:
9:30
10:30
2:15
4:30
and from 5:45-8 with a few other bands.
So many opportunities to stare at those calves of sexy doom. I'm drooling just thinking about it.
Yipeeeeeeee!!! ;D

THAT'S NOT A VERY SCOTTISH JACKET...
I am planning to go for a bit but it looks to be cold and rainy. I guess I am going to have to get my long kilt socks out. 10 AM right??
10am I'll be there, if its wet and rainy sans kidlings. If its nice I'll have my hands full. I may be a little late if I have to drop them off however so if I'm not there at 10 I'm sure you'll see me wandering around the booths looking at all of the pretties(jewlery that is).

LOL!!!! Ahem... HE can wear (
or not wear) whatever he wants whenever he wants!! ;D
..... *sigh*....... really? No Kilt....... *pout* :'(
Was fun seeing everyone! We bailed pretty early.. That wind was just too darn cold!!!
Yep, it was chilly! Had a blast though. Who would have thought taping down garbage cans and taking surveys would be fun? ;D
Oh, got to meet new people too...As I said, I suck at remembering names but I did meet "Cheap Chick" and Anne?
A good day.
The sun made an appearance later on in the afternoon, but it never really warmed up. Liz said that only twelve surveys were completed last year and I'm pretty sure we convinced more than twelve people to take the survey.
We had a great time and look forward to next year.
I have a few photos from today posted on facebook and myspace (my daughter took a LOT of pictures of cows, those are all on myspace).
I know I had at least 6 surveys in the first half hour, and when Cheap Chick showed up things really got moving! Had lots of fun yakking with the fine Scottish Fair folk.
The unplanned fly-over and eventual landing of the Blackhawk helicopter during the National Anthems was an added bonus for an aviation nut like me. (Apparently there was an armed services picnic next door to the Fair).
I wanted to try the Haggis for the 1st time...but I didn't have the guts. ;D
Wait, when were you there Dreg? We didn't see you at all..... ???
He got there right after I did when the Sheep were still not nerves. :D

I know...There were several times I swear you guys saw me but I ducked behind a port-o-pot just in time! ;D
Got there about 8:30...left about 1:30 to go make an offer on a house. For a place that size I am very surprised we did not run into you! :(

I did see something that looked like a goat... was that you in garb? ;D
You and Synn were there Toar???
I did not like the wind and the cold. I broke down and put a jacket on. I got Jenn a nice Mother's Day present with a Celtic Embroidered bag that she really liked. We got the kids Tin whistles so we are ready to drop them off at Bacardi's, DB's or Toar's for a day. ;D
I got a book on how to play the Bodrahn (sp). I am getting one as soo as it comes in (fathers day??).
It was nice to see peoples...
I had a blast even if I only stayed a short while. I must have missed Syn & Toar :(.
That being said I did get to meet a few new faces, now maybe I won't be nearly as shy at fest.(After 3 years I still clam up around you guys at times*embarassed*)
Can't wait till next time I see ya.

Uh... yea...... I'm gonna go with No on that one... That is unless you'd like to be picking a tin whistle out of their nose for oh say the next year or so....
Synn: I thought with how much Toar likes to play his Ocarina he would have a blast with the kids and their tin whistles...it would be like an ear piercing ren band ;D

I knew I should have brought my camera!
I got a few pics of its flyby, but I didn't think to actually go over there to take pics of where it landed... ::)

He snuck off while Muffin and I were gorging ourselves on deep fried cheese on the way out. NOM NOM NOM!
We happened to be at the Fair's booth looking for raffle tickets when it landed. Needless to say the pipers in the piping competition were none to pleased. Something about not being able to hear a thing they were doing while it landed.
And hey!!! Speaking of not being pleased! What's with the eye candy in PANTS!?!?
He told me that he "forgot" his kilt. Umm... Hello?!? Nope, don't buy that. >:(
Yeah, and I told him, THEY SELL THEM HERE YOU KNOW!!!!!! :P
So has anyone uploaded their images from the Scottish Fair yet????
I have some on facebook and myspace (all of the ones my daughter took are on myspace - she really really liked the cows!).
Silly me, here are the links:
