Newport Celtic Festival 2014

Newport was great as always...this was their (and our) 4th year. Saturday saw lots of folk, the weather was sunny and a bit breezy, but not as windy as last year! Sunday started out wet, but the rain cleared off after noon. I will post pictures tomorrow.

The Cattleman who brought the wee highland cows found out that he was part of Clan Donald...I don't think we got a picture of him (or the cows) it is hard to do it with just the two of us manning the tent. Talked to a lot of nice folk and managed to steer quite a few in the right direction when they were not a Donald. I have some pages to scan and send to people who found some information in our genealogy books. And we had a chance to catch up with many clan folk who we only get to see during the season.

Had a grand time with the Irish fella who sold the swords...he put on a great show and he knows our Idaho Commissioner Sharon Goff! I know we got his picture (and his name).

We were next to a lady who did marvelous leatherwork...and we discussed maybe having a get together or 2 with them giving us some lessons...so, keep tuned for more info on that going forward.
