Scottish Festival

If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

Every year in September Kelso has its Scottish Festival. Last year we thought about going but when we saw the lines of cars trying to get in, we decided not to fight the crowds. This year we decided to check it out.

And, of course, I had to check out the flowers on display! I always like taking pictures of flowers and bees.

To begin with we got there about the time the parade was over but got to see part of it as all the vehicles were leaving the area. One car was parked there. We thought it quite interesting.

Even though Terry and Justin also went with Sabrina and I, they didn’t enjoy it as much as we did. We enjoyed checking out the displays, watching the entertainment and seeing all the interesting items for sale.

Booths were set up with information on many of the Scottish clans, their history and lineage. Folks wore their tartans and played the bagpipes … just as one might expect.

Sabrina participated in the festivities by running the 5K earlier in the day! And, she even finished it!
