Next years theme is "Heirs of Erin". For the last four years our Irish cousins have invited the Scots to come join them and set up our tents in a "Scottish Village". Last year we had 29 clans represented. This is an indoor event held in two of the large exhibition buildings, so weather is not an issue. |
