This was our first trip to the Scottish festival. We had a lot of fun and i think that this will definitely be on our agendas in the future! although 50-70 mph winds + kilts = not a pretty picture, but all in all we had a blast. we got to enjoy a bagpipe parade, get our pics taken with Nessie ( who knew she was here all along,lol) and we even braved the meat pies. although i decided to go without the haggis. speaking of haggis we thought about doing the haggis tossing contest but with the wind again we thought maybe we shouldn't. no one wants to end up with haggis on their faces, and no matter how much begging we couldn't convince my husband to enter the bonnie knees contest. i have a friend in the Columbus city band who moved here from Scotland in 1972 and he said that my family last name could be Scottish so i think for next year i will do a little research and see what i can come up with. i did see a sign ( which is in the picture above) that said "Owens family st" but i think its for the fair :0)
