which means, it's the Weekend!

This weekend is Saline's Celtic festival...an annual extravaganza of bagpipes, haggis, fish and chips and Men in Kilts!

Tonight is Pub Night, when they run the Mr. Prettylegs contest, and various bands entertain with music old and new. I will bring back a fuller report...but let us celebrate that mysterious tribe this Weekend, a salute to Celts everywhere.

You would think Ireland and Scotland, but most of Europe was Celtic at one time or another, and then there's wannabes. So, Slainte!
