I would suggest you make reservations early if you plan to stay the weekend.
I will be part of the 1745 re-enactment group there and easy to spot at our camp. So come by and say hello if you attend. Plus, you get to see my favorite band, The Wicked Tinkers, perform! woo hoo!
I want to thank you for your post on the Flagstaff Arizona Highland Games. If everything goes as planned,(as if.. ) we will be in cool Flagstaff in July. It is amazing that information about Mesa is everwhere, but Flagstaff, forget it. I don't do Mesa anymore, to many year, to stale. See ya'....... Look forward to the bands and hefting a pint or 10.
Hey Donajhi! I still love the Mesa games and I attend the Tucson games as well. But I love the Flagstaff ones the best! Hope to see you there! Stop by our Jacobite camp. We're usually waaaaay out in the field due to the guy's black powder guns for the re-enactments. If you look in my photo album, you will see what I am dressed like. I will either be at camp or hanging out with the Tinkers! Will share a pint with you! Take care and keep in touch!
Just an FYI if you plan on attending the Flagstaff Gathering. I made my family reservations yesterday. There are still a few rooms left. We are going to stay from the 20th to the 23rd and was lucky to get in at the Holiday Inn. Real good price packages, just be sure to ask for "The Special Celtic Festival Rate". At first I didn't- then I remembered and saved myself $62.95 per night. Have ordered the tickets. Now if I could just figure out this new digital camera I would be okay. At least I am friends with the video camera. See ya' all there........
Hey Donajhi! Glad you got a room. I hope you got a good rate. I have reserved three rooms at the Travelodge which is a 1/4 mile from the games themselves. I know for sure that one of the rooms will be not be used...it would be $69.99 a night...Celtic festival rate. You got $62.95 per night at Holiday Inn? Now that is not fair! hee hee. I wonder where that is located in Flag?
Any of the rest of you, let me know if you want one of the Travelodge rooms or not.
I will be on vacation from July 22-July 1st, so if interested, I will talk to you before (tonight) if not after.
Anxious to see you, Haynes and whoever else can make it! Take care!
Glad to hear from you. But I must explain, I did not get the room for $62.95. It was $162.95, but with the discount it is $100.00 a night. A savings of $62.95. It's located 1.6 miles from the park. We went with the Holiday Inn because of how close it is to the park and also has an indoor swimming pool and room service. Those are things we really need. My daughter and grandson will be with me. Both are spoiled rotten, of course I don't know how that happened. It had to be the "Fairy Folk". Anyway that's the skinny on the room.
I look forward to seeing both of you. I'll stand ya' each a pint.
Hey Haynes and Donajhi! It will be only a few weeks and the Flagstaff games will be here! I can hardly wait and looking very forward to meeting you both. Look for me at the 1745 jacobite camp. If I am not there (as I will also be hanging out at the Wicked Tinkers booth and live performances) you may want to call my cell phone. Will give you the number should you request. Otherwise, I will easily be spotted in my 18thc dress and white kerchief on my head.
Good idea about the cell numbers. I tried to send a PM with ours. Can't get it to work. It keeps asking for a recipient and I keep typing Celtic Rose. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Sounds like all are looking forward to a good time! Wish it wasn't so far away! I need to find a way to clone myself so I can go to all the different Highland Games around the country! We don't have anything close to me until september.

On Rose's post, click on her name and it should take you to her profile. That's where you'll find a place to send her a PM. I'll be sure and get my number to both of you. Take care!

I'll lift a pint in spirit!
Wish you could be with us, also. Of course you would have about an 8-9 hour drive. So we will remember your good thoughts and drink a toast to, TandVh.
