SAN ANTONIO HIGHLAND GAMES
HELOTES FAIR GROUNDS
APRIL 3-5, 2009

 

Several members of the Clan MacLeod Society attended the Tartan Day observance and a memorial remembrance of the Scots who died for Texas freedom at the Alamo on Friday evening, April 3, 2009.  There was a very impressive ceremony with Pledges to the U.S. and Texas flags, the National Anthem lead by the Drambeauties, Highland dancing, the San Antonio Pipe Band and Drums, and a wreath laying  at the steps of the Alamo.  Andrew Morrison, Honorary British Consulate, read the Proclamation to the City of San Antonio.  

 The San Antonio Games and Festival was well attended on Saturday, April 4.  Larry Sears and Gloria McLeod welcomed the many visitors to the MacLeod tent.   The Drambeauties, Jackie Sears, Sarah Piepgrass and Muffee Beaton, entertained on one of the Stages several times during the day but had time to drop by and visit with us in between appearances.  

 On Saturday night a terrific storm came through San Antonio and blew down several of the tents at the Games.  Larry had the MacLeod tent anchored down securely so it stayed put.   We had packed and covered our books and supplies so no damage done there.  It was not raining on Sunday but the ground was wet and muddy.  Our attendance was not very good because of that so we packed up earlier than usual and headed home.  We look forward to next year and better weather conditions.
