Our day: The Celtic Festival in Buffalo, MO

We went to the Celtic Festival in Buffalo, MO today. I took eleven pictures, but I'm only going to show 3 of them in this blog (because it also goes to a couple of e-lists, and some of us have slow connections). For the other *8*, you can see them at http://ramblemansweb.com/photos/Blog_pictures.html All the pictures you see, on this page and the one linked to, are "click to enlarge" pictures, just so you know :-)

As we were heading out of our little community we pass a farm. Apparently they, the farmers, got a WHOLE BUNCH of new Boer goats recently. I mean, there must be at *least* a hundred them. Really cool. Well, if we ever want to raise goats again, we know where to go to check. *smile*

We stopped here, Woods, to get cigs for Rain, and cash to spend at the festival.

And this is right after we got there.

From there we just wondered around and checked things out. There were some animals there, so we went and looked and petted them. There were Shetland sheep, Highland cattle, and Clydesdale horses. We even saw a couple of Irish Wolf hounds. They were all beautiful, but we didn't get pictures of the dogs, sorry. We did of the other animals though :-) Then we got a drink and sat and watch a guy playing the bagpipes, some women practicing throwing a 12 pound bag of hay over a really tall bar between two poles. Watched a parade of the clans who were represented, and walked around some more. Eventually we got hungry, so we got some food. While we ate, we watch what they call "the bonnie knee" contest. That's where a bunch of men with kilts on, stand on the front row of the bleachers while a couple of blindfolded women feel their knees to decide who's are the best. LOL. Quite silly! Then we came home.
