Tuesdays "Scottish Festival" Post

Let me start with an interesting story. Did you know I evidently have a huge Irish clan called clan "Ross"? Well I didn't. LOL My manly man and I went searching for his clan because we knew he came over from Scotland, but his clan wasn't really there. Strangely enough I walked into part of a tent where an entire booth was dedicated to my clan.

So I found out lots of new information about my past an genealogy. WOOT!!! And as I am discussing my college project with the fine ladies helping me with information on my own family she introduces me to none other than Ivan "Ian" Wilson, whom by the way is a curator at a museum and is very active in writing. He's an author. How sweet is that? Though He is published, I think what he enjoys writing is little limericks, poetry and shorts for these Highland festivals. Hes a very Prominent man in this community of scottish stuff and he is hilarious.

 "What grade are you in?" Ivan asked
"She's in college." Said Manly man
Ivan turns and looks at me right after the picture was taken.
"How old are you?"
"I'm 28." I replied
"How old are you?" He looks right at me this time.
"I'm 28" I say again a little louder.
He paused..."I thought you were 11!"



 There also happened to be HAGGIS <--click OH my goodness, this stuff tastes good, but its nasty lookin!

It took us most the day to walk the entire festival. It was huge. There were acres! My legs were killing me to even walk down stairs after it LOL.
 They had two huge vendor tents, two huge tents just for the clans. They also had a dog show, though I didn't make it in time for that actual event many of the animals were still there...

Airedales

Scottish Terrier

Irish Wolf Hounds
