Join
in a celebration of the areas Celtic roots at the McHenry
Highland Festival, Saturday, June 7, 2003. Fun is the keyword
for this day of family entertainment. With Marsh Mountain
and Deep Creek Lake as a backdrop, vocalists and instrumentalists
present the music of Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales.
From the soft tones of the harp to the thrilling sounds of
pipes and drums as five bagpipe bands take to the field, the
mountains ring with music that day. Military encampments offer
a step back in time. Sheepdog demonstrations and livestock
shows keep the rural atmosphere of Marylands highlands
in focus. Stay back as brawny athletes test their skills with
the hammer and caber. Join in with the clan displays, piping
demonstrations, kids stuff, and a variety of Celtic vendors
and crafters. Scottish dance and piping competitions, a British
car show and plenty of food, offer just some of the things
for the fair-goer. Rain or shine, the celebration will continue
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Garrett County Fairgrounds.
