| Step back in time to
18th century Scotland…enjoy
visiting a village that emerges from the highland mists just once a
year. Enjoy the taste of authentic Scottish foods, hear the pipers
playing, watch dancers from Scotland and Wales as they perform
jubilantly and perhaps invite you to take part. They'll show you how to
"waulk" the wool and you can help. Many vendors of Celtic goods will
sell you wares from Scotland, Ireland and Wales. The athletes will
demonstrate their prowess, casually tossing a telephone-pole-sized
"caber" in the fields. The youngsters will be encouraged to try their
own hand at this in the children's version of the events.
Highland cattle graze peacefully in a nearby field. Vikings demonstrate their ability to defeat foes in battle and tell you of their lore - very much a part of Celtic heritage. A highland soldier, recently returned from fighting on the side of King George in the American Revolution, will tell you his story and show you his kit. Many of the participants will be dressed in 18th century costume. There will be highland heritage displays and demonstrations. Celtic harps will gently serenade you. Baskets containing many wondrous items will be raffled off to help raise funds for the benefit of Pegasus Farms, an association dedicated to horseback riding therapy for those who are disabled or handicapped. There will be a display of vintage cars and wine tasting is
readily available at Maize Valley Winery, the wonderful folks who
kindly donate the use of their grounds as our location. Traditional
music from Scotland, Ireland, and Wales will be featured via bands and
through J & C Entertainment throughout the event. This will be a
full and active day for singles, couples, and families. This page is hosted by Netfirms at no cost in
