I went to the Highland Games in Fort Wayne Saturday with my daughter. It was hotter than Hades and no sooner did we walk through the gate than it started raining. It only lasted about 10 minutes and did nothing to cool things off. This has got to be the smallest one I ever attended. We used to go to Sarnia, just over the border into Ontario. That one was awesome and huge! Unfortunately they closed it a couple of years ago.
I am officially a member of Clan Stewart now. I’m not sure how meaningful that is since they don’t actually make you prove you are descended from the house of Stewart.
What I’d like to know is how do they decide what tartan to wear when they are the Fort Wayne Police dept?

This band I found someone I know in Fort Wayne, my furnace/ac repair guy. Who knew? My daughter says I should snatch him up, what more could you want than a kilt wearing, bagpipe playing, fellow who knows how to fix things? 
In all my years of going to Highland Games, this is the first time I have ever seen a pitchfork throw. Who thought of that? Is it a Hoosier thing? 
Hey, don’t be thinking this is what it actually looks like, here you can pretend to be a mighty log thrower! 
I wanted to buy a couple of t-shirts but instead I stuck with this little souvenir…
It’s been a while since I’ve been to one of these and this was mighty small and hot but it was still a fun time 
I loved visiting the Highland Games with you. I think we’re both in the same heatwave!
It sure has been hot and humid. Still, since it didn’t kill me I’m glad I went
“My daughter says I should snatch him up”
Go for it girl!!! He dresses well AND he can fix stuff around the house. What are you waiting for?? ~Kc

Haha, Ya never know, if I start hanging around at these I might get myself a piper in the end
Love the bagpipes! I may be 1/4th Scottish, but I don’t want my man to wear a skirt…
I’m a Campbell though, not a Stewart. (I’ve been told the Campbells were renegades. Haha!)

There’s this song called The Scotsman, http://www.thebards.net/music/lyrics/The_Scotsman.shtml the gist is he falls asleep drunk, wakes up to take a leak and finds a blue ribbon tied on his private part. Miranda asked us if any of them had a blue ribbon and Melissa said “They did when we were done.” lol
I like kilts, but I wouldn’t have wanted to be wearing wool in this heat, even if it is ventilated
