First Feature
The 77th. Annual Scottish Fair & Highland Games is on this weekend!!
The Gates open at 9:00am on both Saturday and Sunday. Plenty of easy close to the gates parking. Attendees will enjoy top notch piping & drumming, Scottish Dancing, Scottish athletics, gathering of the clans and much more great Family Fun!
 This year come witness the most
pipe bands in Festival history! 23 bands will be competing and
performing, including 6 bands from Canada!
The pipe band contest consists
of pipe bands in one of four grades, grade 1, the most experienced
grade, through grade 4, the least experienced. In the medley, each band can play
what type of tunes they like, from marches, reels and hornpipes, to slow
airs and retreats to display not only their technical skill, but
artistic skill as well. The band's performance is
judged by three separate judges, a piping judge, a drumming judge and
an ensemble judge.
A full range of Officially Sanctioned Scottish Athletic Competitions will be held throughout both days. Some of the best athletes in the world will be on hand to demonstrate and compete in some of the most exciting feats of skill, physical stamina and prowess known to man. All classes of the Caber Toss, Hammer Throw and Putting the Stone (Stone Throw) will be presented.
Check out your genealogy. See the great selection of unique goods such as swords and leather items and imports from your favorite vendors. Anne and the great crew from the Irish Import Shop in Hollywood will be there. The Irish Import Shop has a tremendous selection of Imported British and Irish Food, Gifts, Celtic jewelry and Irish Imports that you simply can not find at any other store or booth in Southern California. Our great friends Andy and Ann Scott of Tea and Sympathy Books will also be on hand. You can find rare books and unique gift items at this booth. Dave McNabb of Clan McNabb will be there at the booth assisting the good folks of Tea & Sympathy. McNabb wil have a supply of homemade shortbread for sale; always a treat and always the best find at any Fair anywhere! Authentic Scottish food and libations will also be
served throughout the grounds. www.scotsfest.com

Irish E-Missives'
| PUBLIC SERVICE BLOCK
| Wells Of Life
Our great friend, Nick Jordan told us about Wells of Life late last year. Jordan is the co-founder of this group and he has dedicated a lot of energy, money and time to obtaining clean water for some wonderful people, most of them children, who need our help. We are now back on track to do our best to help this fine organization drill an IRISH E-MISSIVE READERS Well in Africa. Please help if you can. We mentioned this project a few months ago for the first time. The dreadful earthquakes in Haiti and Chile distracted us and our readers but now we really need your donations, moral support and word of mouth to help make this happen.
