2007 Arkansas Scottish Festival
The 28th Annual Arkansas Scottish Festival was held on the
grounds of Lyon College in Batesville, Arkansas, on April 20-22, 2007. The
weather was made to order…sunshine and cool breezes. Tim and Sarah Simpson,
Arkansas Commissioners, set up the tent with all the supplies and when the gates
opened on Saturday morning, Tim and Sarah, assisted by Gloria McLeod, were ready
for business. There was a steady stream of visitors to the tents and to the
activities on the grounds, which included the usual piping, drumming, dancing
and athletic competitions. Children came by with their faux passports to be
stamped and listen to the different Clan histories. On the outer edge of the
campus, the sheep-dog demonstration, featuring a small herd of six freshly shorn
sheep and four Border collies, Rex, Zack, Gayle and Sal, delighted the children
and old alike.
The MacCrimmon Quaich was awarded to Nathaniel
Harvey from Wichita, Kansas. He is the Pipe Major of the Wichita Pipe Band.
Nathaniel is 16 years old and Jimmy Bell, the Band Director at Lyon College,
hopes to see him at Lyon in a couple of years.
The winner of the Agnes McLeod Stephens scholarship for piping, established by
Jack and Sue Stephens through the Dunvegan Foundation in honor of his mother,
was Cody Austin Wagnon, a sophomore from Sand Springs, Oklahoma. He is a
graduate of the Charles Page High School in Tulsa and has been playing pipes for
five years. He plans to play with the Westminster Pipe Band during the summer.
Jack and Sue Stephens also established a scholarship in their names and the
winner of this for two consecutive years for dance was Brooke Hollis, a junior
from Polo, Missouri. She teaches Highland Dancing at Lyon as well as performs
and competes.
These young people are to be congratulated on their achievements and are very
appreciative of the scholarships. They were very sorry to hear that Jack
Stephens has died but because of his and Sue‘s generosity, these scholarships
will continue at Lyon College through the Dunvegan Foundation of the Clan
MacLeod Society.
New members for the Clan MacLeod Society were Parris and Deborah
McCulloh, Thomas and Dora McCollum, and Karen Caig. Those who renewed their
memberships were Tim Simpson and Jim Peckham.
The Clan MacLeod was awarded the “Best Clan Attire” for the second year in a
row, for which they are very proud. Congratulations are in order to those at
Lyon College who work tirelessly to make this a very special event each year.
Respectfully submitted,
Gloria McLeod, Publicist
