Ormond Beach Celtic Festival April 15 & 16
We drove to the City of Ormond Beach, Florida to the city sponsored Celtic Festival. Ormond has the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Halifax River running right through the middle. The city still retains a lot of “Old Florida Charm”. The Celtic festival was held at Rockefeller Gardens Park, which sits right on the east side of the beautiful Halifax River at the bridge. As we came over the bridge, we could see John D. Rockefeller’s winter home, “The Casements”, with tents popping up all around on the grounds of the park.
Loch Norman Games North Carolina
Clan Colquhoun welcomed friends and made lasting memories at the Loch Norman Highland Games on April 14-16, 2023 in historic Rural Hill. Just a short drive from Charlotte, the location was stunning, with its lush rolling hills, living history encampments, gardens and even Scottish cows. You may have thought you were in Scotland!
The weekend kicked off with a cocktail reception and dinner under the stars. Clan sponsors and friends of Loch Norman feasted and socialized – shepherd’s pie was heartily enjoyed — while bagpipes provided a festive mood to the evening. Buck Buchanan, of Clan Buchanan, did a fabulous job as Master of Ceremonies.
