The 13th Annual Mid-Winter Scottish and Irish Festival will be held Feb. 18 - 20, 2005 at the Valley Forge Convention Center. Anyone interested in going??
Depending on the weather, I should be there Friday night. I'll be staying at the Hampton Inn on Rt. 202, in King of Prussia. It's about a three mile drive to the convention center. http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/hotels/...ctyhocn=PHLKPHX

Annabelle and I have reservations at the King of Prussia Hampton Inn on Rt. 202. We should be rolling into the hotel Friday, about 6:30 PM, after I pick her up at the Allentown Airport.
If anyone else is coming to the fest, let us know and we will figure out a place and time to meet or just simply stay at the Hampton and we can all have breakfast in the morning and party in the evening.
