High Desert Celtic Festival - Todd



Clan Donald attended the 2013 High Desert Celtic Highlander Festival location at the Deschutes County Fair and Expo.

 

Great conversation and support with Mike McCormick, Ginger, William Wallace and other assorted visitors to our Donald Tent.

 

Definitely Celtic spirit was flowing in music and drink. I personally attended the evening Ceili to hear Tara Amadam and got to play a few tunes. Fearless Ale sponsored the beer tent with some whiskeys of various kinds. Darkness soon entailed us all as dancing and music continued into the sliver of a moonlit night. A real close old ways gathering full of well-dressed Celts and poets and jesters.

 

Band breaks of wicked sorts of tattoos, breasts, knobby knees contests. All in good fun as we retired to the grounds to sleep in our tents. A very wonderful scent upon waking of juniper and sage.

High Desert Celtic Festival

I did not make this festival...but Todd did! I stayed home to take possession of a hospital bed for our newest resident, who moves in today. From everything Todd has said, I missed a very good time!

Todd was late arriving due to an emergency here at home late Friday night. But he did get up and head out as early as he could. He came back full of tales and pictures...I will keep after him to put them in writing so that I can share them here. And watch for a picture post soon thereafter!
