Chicago Highland Games
Jun. 17th, 2012 12:16 pmI went to Chicago Scot's Scottish Fest & Highland Games yesterday. My dad drove, and he took me, Larry, Jack and Ian.
I was looking forward to seeing the heavy games, and the pipe and drum bands, and maybe some dancing, and all the stuff that I missed at the Milwaukee games. It started out well enough. I got some food, hung out for a bit at the clan tents, and saw the hammer throw contest.
But then the whisky opened. After a couple of hours there, I went back to the clan tents for a while. Then we had to take Larry to sample a couple of malts. I spent another hour there. By that time, things were winding down. I listened to a band for a bit. Waited for the closing ceremony and massed bands. Then by the time that started, Ian wasn't doing well, so we left early to beat the rush.
