Saturday was a good day at Tartan Days in Longmont, Colorado. The wind we endured was tempered by the 70+ degree weather. Sunday, however, was a different story. The early morning cold lasted until mid-day, and the wind made it even worse due to wind chill. The festival closed its gates around lunchtime, and everyone started packing up.
People obviously are tired of being at home the past two years, and are looking for activities to get them out and about with other human beings. I talked with a lot of people interested in their family history, and offered the usual tips for getting started on their personal research. I hope I lit at least a few fires.
We were joined Sunday morning by Mary, Queen of Scots of Highland Colorado, and a few members of her court.
A bit of time off now, before the Cheyenne Celtic Festival in June. Clan Murray is skipping the last-minute Pikes Peak Festival in Colorado Springs this year, but will be in Elizabeth in July for their festival. Then the biggie – the Clan Murray Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Denver in August. This AGM has been two years in the making, with stand-in AGMs in South Carolina and Georgia during the interim.
