Hi All
The Caledonian Club of Sacramento presented the 137th annual Sacramento Valley Scottish Games & Festival on Saturday April 27th and Sunday April 28th at the Yolo County Fairgrounds. Weather both days was very nice and warm with record temps in the mid 90's.
This was our first games of the season in California and our second time in California altogether. It was nice to see some familiar faces from the 2011 Pleasanton Games. There were a few that did recognize my son and I (we just couldnt remember each others names). The clan tents were in an area called the Glen of Clans. There were about 50+ clans present plus various Celtic, Scottish and other societies.
There was music from Wicked Tinkers (very popular) and 1976 were the headliner entertainers. There were at least two full buildings of inside vendors plus several outside vendors. Lots of food vendors as well. they also had a section with several animals including dogs, cats, lamb, highland cattle and Clydesdale horses. We had several children stop by for their passport stamps. The tea towels with the Clans of Scotland and Scottish words/dictionary continue to be a favorite for people to stop by and check out. We did have one person sign in and request info on our clan.
