Bonnie and I attended the 75th annual Highland Gathering at the Pomona fairgrounds today. What a thrill that was! I guess I can claim 1/4 Scottish heritage; my maternal grandfather was a Graham.
We spent most of our time watching the pipe and drum competition. I think I heard enough bagpipes to last me for a few weeks, at least. It was a very colorful day, as the pipers and many of the attendees wore kilts.
They had several stages with different groups performing folk songs and such. And, of course, there were vendors selling all kinds of Scottish things.
We will probably go again next year and check out stage performances as well as the dancing competition and the athletic events.
