Anyone going to Celtic Fling June 27-29?

I'm considering going to the Celtic Fling at the Renaissance Fair Grounds. Is anyone going? Has anyone gone before?

I could never get into Renaissance faires, mostly because of the crappy Elizabethan music and food. As for Celtic, I love bagpipe music and I've never tried scotch eggs, so I'm thinking of going.

Is this where I point out the food will probably as Celtic as the Tex-Mex deals offered on our pizza delivery menus?

Nah - good for you.
I'd take Elizabethan music over bagpipes any day, but it all sounds like good clean fun.

By all means, if you're thinking about going to a Celtic fair, and you think this is something you might enjoy, you should go!

The music will be great, the food will be great, the people will be great; you'll have a great time.

The Highland Games are a sight to see, for sure, and since they have the grounds for Highland Games, there will probably be other things going on there, like trained dog exhibitions etc.

Whatever the case may be, just walking around and taking in the sights and sounds of Celtic heritage is a really good time. I highly, highly recommend that you attend any Celtic fair, any chance you get. If you try it, I'll bet that you start going every year.
