No haggis???
I do like a good festival. I couldn't find this one listed on any of the calendars of upcoming Scottish/Irish/Celtic festivals that I have bookmarked.
It's about a 6 hour drive for me. I would need a little more information before I could put it on my personal calendar. Does it have a website, any camping nearby?
My new Brown Watch (yep, I said Brown Watch) bespoke kilt should be finished by then. I may just consider entering the bonniest knees competition.

Jerry, about halfway between Lakes Bistineau and Claiborne, you've been to both.

Can we get some more info? I would love to attend given my Scott/Irish heritage.

Doesn't have bony knees though.

It's too late for Christmas; but if he's been a good boy you could surprise him!! Rocky over at USAKilts.com does fantastic work and his customer service is above par. Can have one made to measure in 6 to 10 weeks. He carries the Campbell/Argyll and the Campbell Ancient tartans as part of his inventory.
I've seen it spelled both ways.... boniest and bonniest. Makes a slight difference. Either way, you're knees get felt up by a bunch of lady judges. Hope you're not the jealous type.

Not the jealous type at all and his is the bonniest I have seen.

I might look into the kilt..

Jerry at Stillwater is great as well. I have two Stillwater economy kilts, and I'm quite pleased with them for what they are. I would have mentioned him in my earlier post; but I didn't see any Campbell tartans listed on his website.
Don't want to highjack the thread with comparison shopping for a kilt, so back to the original scheduled programming.
I get off work Friday night at 10:30. It wouldn't be the first time I've taken my trailer fully loaded to work and left from there. That would put me in the vicinity around 4:00AM. Grab a nap in the front seat of the truck, find the campground, set up and go to the Festival. I think it might work.
