Congrats ColsohPIPER on your groups wins at Greenmead. Wasn't the weather great? I remember when the area was farms. Heck I remember when Haggerty was dirt road, but the straightest was to get to wayne county fair. I use to live in Wixacippi, next to Waltucky and Novibama. Now I dread having to go in to the metro area, I must be forgetting how to drive.
I travel with the Virgina Convener for the Gordon clan and at the last two Games we attended we won awards. At the Alexandria Scottish Games we won Best Clan Presentaion and at the West Virginia Games we won the People's Choice award. While representing the Gordon clan (I'm actually a Crawford) the convener also is the leader of a fight troupe, the Rouges and Wenches. (That's where I come in) We demonstrate the uses of traditional Scottish weapons, as well as their historical signifigance. We also actually kilt a volunteer using a great kilt. The next Games we will be attending are the Williamsburg Highland Games.
First I'd like to welcome you to Higlander Radio forum. This is a great forum and I'm sure you'll find many interesting subjects to read about and interesting people who have a love of their Celtic heritage. The music is the greatest!
Was you with the Gordon Clan last week-end at the Beckley WV, Games and Celtic Festival? This was the first time ever for the Celtic festival in the Beckley area. It was moved here from Charleston, WV. I was told the games and festival had outgrew the facilities in Charleston. I had a great 2 days last week-end, my first time ever at one of these events and I loved it! Slowly but surely, I'm trying to get my family interested in their Celtic heritage. My husband's ancestors are from Scotland and it was very easy to find his clan badge and tartan. Mine came from Ireland and I have never able to find a tartan, until a lady from one of the clan tents found it in a book called, "International Assn. of Tartan Studies." Needless to say, I was very excited to find this info.
Yes that was us at the Beckley Games. I, however was not there but Jerry, our converner, was. We will be at the MD Renn Fair for Scottish Weekend on Sept. 14-15.
I did not meet anybody at the MD Renn Fair. However, my group, the Rouges and Wenches, will be giving demenstrations at the Williamsburg games, Sept 28-29. I will probably be the only "wench" there. You can find me either were the Rouges are preforming or at the Clan Gordon tent.
