Scottish Festival

Bagpipe band

Went to the Scottish festival yesterday at Thanksgiving Point with a friend from work. It was delightful. There were men flinging heavy objects, bagpipe bands, dancers and delicious meat pies. Good fun was had by all especially when it began to rain and then started to pour. Thousands of people (so it seemed) were huddled under the pavilions. Felt like it really added to the whole Scottish ambiance. As soon as the rain slowed down a bit we ran for cover in a less crowded space. There were dozens of festive booths to enjoy and plenty of goods for sale. I don't like to buy stuff at fairs and festivals because though it seems like a good idea at the time I would wonder what the heck I'm going to do with a peasant costume after I get home and the novelty wears off. Halloween costume? Fun once but not worth the money. Memories are all I need.
