I have checked and verified the Links for Clan Donald and for all the Oregon events. I will get the links checked and updated for all the NPR events and get the Montana events added to that list over the next week or so.

April 1st
Hunt the Gowk (Scotland)
On this day people would play tricks and tell lies to catch each other out. But the jokes had to stop at mid-day. Now called April Fool's Day, hunting the gowk was originally sending someone on a foolish errand to hand someone a paper with the words "Dinna laugh, an' dinna smile But hunt the gowk another mile." The "fool" would then be sent on to the next person to find.
