Irish Connections

I've often said "The only difference between the Scots and the Irish is...
The Scots knew how to swim."

For those of you of the Irish persuasion there are two active associations in the Northwest (and set up at the Highlands Games and Gathering circuit).

The Clan Cian Society

and The Celtic Irish Families Society of north America.

The Scottish Highland Games are about to start their season, most Clan Associations
attend and have a tent set up for interested persons to stop by and have a chat.

I have been asked a few times this year for clan badges, dirks..etc.. and I usually refer people to their own clan to make the purchases (that are clan specific).

So look for a Game in your area (or stop by the shop and check the events listing),
to find a great day out as a single, a couple or a family.

Bagpipers and drummers, highland dancers, and the large lads that take joy in picking up and tossing 'round heavy, bulky and large objects for a bit of a laugh!
All this and more... help you to step into a different world if just for awhile.

New stock coming in on a regular cycle, into the shop. The theme this year is to bring in ranges from the homelands that many have not seen before.

Hope to see you soon...

(I'll be gone part of this upcoming weekend for an event in Sutherlin for the
Douglas County Scot Society Mother's day High Tea)

Cheers,
