The Armstrong Clan Society
Springfield Highland Games
Springfield, Illinois
JD and Lucy Armstrong hosted the Springfield, IL games on May 20, 2006. Weather was mild and turnout larger than last year's. Almost a half a dozen visitors showed interest in joining the Armstrong Clan Society. Twelve clans and fifteen pipe bands attended these games.
The ACS tent was sandwiched
between two other reiver clans, the Littles and Irvins. Lucy had purchased
the Ancient Map of the Borders Clans, mentioned in a recent issue of The
Armstrong Chronicles, it generated a great deal of attention when
displayed on an easel in front of our tent. It was a real
attention getter. They also displayed a pot of ready to bloom Thyme at
the tent and labeled it the "Armstrong Flower".
L to R JD, Lucy,
Past President Beverly Meyers and her husband Terry
