It will be this Labor Day weekend so I'm putting in a plug for it. I'm hoping to make it down there as the musical lineup includes the Steel Bonnets out of Milwaukee. They used to play at our local Ren faire way back in the early 2000's and we became good friends with them. They were the first Scottish type band I heard, and my CDs are long worn out and gone so I'm hoping to pick up some new copies. Lots of other stuff going on too so check out the website. Link is posted below. Alos went to both Irish festivals in Milwaukee and St. Paul this year. The twin cities Irish fest was pretty good and well attended but the bigger acts seem to be on Sunday only. Milwaukee's lineup was okay. It's been better but they had their 40th anniversary last year so I didn't expect a huge lineup this year. Number of Vendors (and most other things) seem to be down this year. I seem to remember a lot more stuff going on in past years. Anyway, here's the link for the Highland Games. https://www.wisconsinscottish.org/
