Ligonier Highland Games
(East of Pittsburgh, PA)
By Joe Wiggington, 2008 - 2009 ACS President
On
Saturday, September 8th the weatherman predicted scattered
showers and thunderstorms across the Laurel Highlands of PA, but the Pipes
& Drums several hundred strong kept the sky dry all day at the 49th
annual Ligonier Highland Games. Idlewild
Park is a beautiful location for a Highland Games, located approximately
50 miles east of Pittsburgh, PA, and the small town of Ligonier opens its
doors to welcome all comers. This
will be a wonderful site for the 2008 Armstrong AGM.
Our
tent was very busy with current, former, and future members stopping by
just thrilled to see us. One
Armstrong family traveling to Scotland next year greatly appreciated
learning more about Langholm and the Reiver Trail. They will spend three days in the
Borders after the conclusion of their guided tour. We were able share pictures or our
recent trip to the Borders and answer many questions about car hire,
lodging, what to pack, places not to miss, VAT, etc. We later received the nicest email
thanking us for all the information.
Perhaps the most encouraging thing to emerge was the number of bairns that took a great interest in hearing about their heritage -not to mention being allowed to alternate carrying the Armstrong banner during the Clan parade- and returning later proudly displaying an Armstrong clan crest or kilt pin purchased by mom and/or dad. So everyone needs to plan now for ACS Annual General Meeting here in Sept of 2008 (and be sure to book rooms in Ligonier now so you can be very close to everything).
