Anybody besides me going to the games in Williamsburg Sept 27th? Hope to see you there!
As my mom is fond of saying (you can tell she is an ex-schoolteacher):
"Not I," said the little red hen.
I will be going to the Chicago Celtic Festival this coming weekend !

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
No, sorry. But can anyone advise if there are any games that might be coming up in or around the western Kentucky area. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

This coming weekend in Paducah, the Western Kentucky Highland Festival in Carson Park runs from Friday Sept 12 to Sunday Sept 14. Their website has been down for a couple of days but you might be able to get some more information by calling (270) 443-2064.
A Celtic festival used to take place in Hopkinsville but the October festival was cancelled in 2002 due to a number of reasons including a lack of volunteer support. It was supposed to be rescheduled in 2003 but there hasn't been any word of a new date.
The next closest would be in central Kentucky near Glasgow. The Glasgow Highland Games will take place from June 3 to 6, 2004.
Thank you, Keltic. I didn't realize they had any so close. I was just in Paducah last week on busines. (@ 2 hrs. drive). I am going to try to make it this weekend if I can get arrangements made. (Kids and the wife works part-time). Are you from this area or is there a website that has listings? Thank you again for taking the time to reply.
Your welcome Ranger. I actually have a listing on my website (Keltic Nations) with over 300 festivals and games taking place around North America with links to their sites. I started it about 5 years ago as a matter of interest for our business and ended up continuing with it. I am now building on to it to include non-North American events.
