36th
Annual Houston Scottish Highland Games and Celtic Festival
The
Houston Scottish Highland Games and Celtic Festival was held May 11-13, 2007 at
the Farm and Ranch Club in Houston, Texas. The competitions started at 9:00
a.m. on Saturday and continued throughout the day. The Clan MacLeod tent was
manned by Don Mack and Kathrine McLeod, and Doug Beaton. Attendance was very
good and many found their way to the MacLeod tent to visit and enjoy the
hospitality they always find there. Kathrine McLeod presented the awards to the
winner of the Mini-Band Competition, and to the recipients of the Piping,
Drumming and Dancing scholarships awarded each year to the St. Thomas Episcopal
School from the Dunvegan Foundation. The winner of the Mini-Band competition
was the St. Thomas Episcopal School Band A consisting of James Millikan, Ben
Buckner, James Wakeland, Layne Wiesendanger, Brian Mathews, James Lawrence, and
Vince Boisaubin. John Richter was awarded the Piping Scholarship; Ben Duran the
Drumming Scholarship and Carla Gardner, a repeat winner of the Dancing
Scholarship. Two new members of the Clan MacLeod Society for the day were
Jennifer Walker, and Denise McCaskill Walker.
Sunday continued with constant entertainment by well known Scottish singers and
bands, sheepherding demonstrations, harp competition, children’s athletics,
shortbread contest and genealogy workshops. Again, the MacLeod tent was a
preferred meeting place and was manned by Doug Beaton and Gloria McLeod, who
could not be there on Saturday. Jim Stimson took advantage of the three year
membership, Nathan Schroedter renewed his membership, and other new members were
Joanne M. Beaton, William H. McClure and Bruce & Donna McCaskill. We welcome
these new and renewed members to the Clan MacLeod Society USA family. We will
look forward to seeing them at the next gathering.
