Plaid Tidings to You

Yes, it's over a month away, but still not too early to add the Scottish Festival to your calendar. From February 18 to 20, wooly goodness, from tartans to sheepherding, will be on view at the Queen Mary. There'll be bagpipes and Highland dancing and traditional food and (ahem) drink as well as competions and kid-friendly activities.

Have a fling on the Queen Mary (Scottish, that is)

The Scots are coming! The Scots are coming -- for the sixth annual Queen Mary Scottish Festival next Saturday and Sunday, February 13 and February 14. There'll be pipes and drumming, dancing and the Plaidpaloosa among the events and a vendors and ethnic organizations a plenty. Hours runs from 9 am to 9 pm and tickets cost $20 for one day or $26 for both.
